Yorknight 24

[Colin]

From next week, RAF Leeming will be home to F-18 hornets as crew go through their annual night flying training.
We realise this isn’t good news for all, and understand our responsibility to inform the local community of movements which are additional to our normal flying activity. Every effort will be made to keep the disturbance to a minimum.
