Yep I concur with Gary that from now till end of the year Cottesmore will be closed Fridays

[galaxy57]

The way i read it its closed everyday of the week starting from this Friday,not just Fridays - everyday till date stated!!!

Going by the 1st posting, para E) wasn,t mentioned going by this NOTAM on the DINS below its not mentioned either,

'U3094/10 - AD CLSD FRI. 26 OCT 07:22 2010 UNTIL 31 DEC 23:59 2010. CREATED: 26 OCT 07:29

Sorry, you've lost me, it's mentioned nearly right at the beginning:
"AD CLSD FRI."

Note the full stop after FRI. Then follows the from/to period. It is not saying Friday the 26th October (which isn't a Friday anyway)

Hi Guys

A bit of help please if you may.

Having read the above, is it a safe to say that Cottesmore is open from Monday to Thursday untill the 31/12/10 ?

If this is so, i have a good chance of visiting Cottesmore a couple of times during the first 3 weeks of November.

Is there a certain day that is best? or is it just turn up and see what happens?.

Many thanks for your help

Much appreciated

Jus seen that wittering is closed fridays aswell now. also there is a NOTAM for Wittering to be open tomorrow 29th Oct between 1000z-1200z so that could be for the Cottesmore move?

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.

It doesnt make sense if its for the move as Cotts is still closed tomorrow so surely they should be open for 2hrs like Wittering, possible 41 Sqn Harriers to Wittering maybe?

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

[ridgmeister]

Many thanks for that Cott09, I planned to to go to Cott. on Monday and/or Wednesday next week anyway, plus more days before they all go. I have had a few good days there this year already and am pleased I made the effort!
Thanks and regards

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

[Richard B]

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............
