No changes to Line of Attack headings, no noise complaints.

If AS are using the Range with no ordnance on board, they are able to choose headings that suit them due to training, weather etc.

Usual headings apply if armed/live firing.

And for your own safety, definately DO NOT go down the sea bank, across the mudflats or stray onto the Range please!! The Range is well signposted for various hazards, please obey them all. :'(

HTH.

Coming back to this hobby and seeing this makes me aware of the reduction in the number of machines available.... In the eighties Holbeach was a good day out.
But the 'peace dividend ' is not to be sniffed at.

I like the above photo - I was stood on the bank by the tower so they are in front of you , I guess it depends on on what panel they are shooting at. You can't walk out over the mud flats , can you?.
No, You can't walk out ,You have to stay on the sea wall but if you head right you end up under them.

Unless you're the old boy from Gedney Drove End, who during the season trudges out to the waters edge and then struggles back with a sack of the freshest and tastiest Samphire that you could possibly imagine.
