Otterburn

Post by Andyph » Sat Apr 03, 2021 4:56 am

It's 30 years since I've been to watch aircraft here - and how magical it was during Mallet Blows.

I just saw that
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ring-times
states "Aircraft, Artillery & Infantry Weapons" for every day it is open.

Aircraft as in Helicopters? or Fast jets doing FAC work? I doubt they will be using the targets?

Anyone keep an eye on this?

They have posted this for many years with aircraft on, I think it's just a cut and paste job. However the odd aircraft does pop up from time to time but forget Mallet Blow its usually just the odd Hawk at 3,000 ft on an FAC
