Leeming exercise?

Post by reaper493 » Fri Jul 23, 2021 10:05 pm

Just seen this posted on Facebook, anyone know any more?
There will be increased aircraft movement from RAF Leeming as the Station hosts exercising aircraft 26 - 29 July 2021.

Short periods of low flying may be necessary, along with some exercising at night.

We understand our responsibility as good neighbours to inform the local community of such events that are additional to our normal flying activities and every effort will be made to keep the disturbance to a minimum.

One of the Valley Hawk T2's carried out some training near Leeming before landing, only thing noted today apart from the normal T1 action.

Official RAF Leeming twitter feed saying " additional noise from visiting aircraft" next week and shows a picture of a Lakenheath F15 Eagle.

Has been talk on social media about some of LN jets going also so could be a good week at Leeming.
