Spring 2019

Hi, could any "Friends of" or other regular visitors give the dates of any forthcoming exercises and happenings that will be taking place at Leeming this spring. Getting wifey to sit through a day of Grobs and Hawks is getting harder (leaving her at home isn't an option).

When visiting ATC with FLAG in Oct. was told that some of the Lossie Typhoons would be operating from Leeming in the New Year whilst runway resurfacing was in progress there so there is the prospect of heavier metal arriving soon which should be more exciting for her. I do have some sympathy with her as the last time I tried to spend an afternoon there it was so quiet I gave up and went to Linton to watch the Tucanos doing circuits + bumps!

I was walking about 3miles North of Leeming yesterday . Between 13.10 and 13.30 two very , very noisy planes took off . But, to my frustration, I couldn't see them. Thye sure weren't Hawks... anybody there to tell me what I missed? Typhoons ?

Thanks Chris, was hoping it was a temporary dummy spitting phase, but after seeing a sizeable European contingent moving straight through his crops a few years ago I'm not surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised...

Sounds like this may be the shape of things to come with the increased popularity of the hobby and little or no regard paid to the local land owners..
