Interesting Cottesmore NOTAM

[cottesmore09]

Please, please, please; if anyone local to Wittering or Cottesmore gets to know if tomorrow is the day the Wittering birds move over, could they post it here? I will drive up as this really is the end of an era! I will keep logs of my visits, as I have previously so that we have records for the last few months of Harrier. Thanks to Harrier list and BMAL for their info and to all who have posted info in the past.
regards
Paul

I live close to Cottesmore and as fare as i know, its now a change of plan!

4(R)sqn is not the first to retire and Wittering is open tomorrow to recover a jet, thats what i have heard.

Although Coningsy 41SQD Harriers seem to be leaving Coningsby on Monday and to be arriving at Cottesmore (more information may arrive on this if and when it comes)

Hope this helps and at the moment Monday could see the end of the first Harrier squadron.

Thanks, Cott09

Thanks and regards

PS I believe the info posted re 41(R)Sqn moving tomorrow is incorrect.......

The Weather will be very good tomorrow,
Pretty poor for the rest of the week.
cheers Rich.

And who said it was going to be the tomorrow? What we have is the W/C 01/11/11, which means Week Commencing the 01st November 2010 simple. That says to me it is the week in which the 1st of November is the first day as in today and not to any specific day of that week.

Touchy........it wasn't even your post which said:

Would hate anyone to have wasted a journey............

3 Mil helecopters over my house towards Cottesmore today all within 10 mins of each other, was in bed so did not see them , sounded like chinooks?

Probably chinook's couldn't see for all the fog even though they were somewhere over my house was about 2 pm I think.
