Increased flying at Leeming from 6th Nov to 6th Dec, I wonder if this is anything to do with the Swiss and Scotnight? The article indicates various aircraft.

I think that's pretty self explanatory. Scot night exercise missions are flown on those dates

I thought it wasn't starting until the 25th of November? Is it starting earlier or is something else happening first?

Exercise Yorknite: 11 November to 6 December with flying between 11.00 and 16.00 hours.

Is it limited to 16.00 hours? Some of the NOTAMs show 22.00.

If it’s 22.00 then it may be feasible for me to travel up after work some nights.

Maybe there were to be two exercises running parallel, as the official Leeming site said "The Station will be hosting various multi-national aircraft".
Yorknight hours are showing as above, but as you say the NOTAM is until 22.00 hours and true to form the F-18s are flying into the evening.

Considering visiting tonight but not sure it’s with a 4 hour round trip just to stay for 2 hours max.

Solves that one then, I was under the impression the airfield was active till 22.00 tonight.

Is anything up yet ??
Cheers

Taxying now according to the Leeming FB page. As the original NOTAM states, they could be flying upto 22:00 tonight.

I did drive by Leeming tonight around 2 hours ago and 4 aircraft were in the circuit

Has the viewing area carpark been open for the afternoon missions?

Thanks

I believe it has and later into the evening

Thanks

Probably coming up on Tuesday but I have noted they seem to be flying from late afternoon onwards when it must already be quite dark - hope they are readable

Could someone please tell me what time the viewing area carpark gate has opened in the morning & closed on an eve as I'll be down on Tue and Wed & hope to stop late.
Thanks in advance .

Notice on the gate says "Open 7am to 7pm Mon to Thur,7am to 5pm Fri.

Thanks to you both .
