Castlemartin Activation
NOTAMS are showing Castlemartin restricted airspace is to be activated from Monday July 10th. In previous years the 2nd week of July has seen French Rafales operating daily on the range. Is this a heads-up they might be returning?

Yep - I remember it well - spent a whole two weeks reporting and photographing the event 2014, I put a shed load of pics on here about it.
Always a great event if you can sort the time to be close to the range.

Re: Castlemartin Activation
This does seem to be an annual event. 2014,2015,2016 all had the French buzzing around for a couple of weeks. Checked the dates from previous years and they all show as beginning around the 2nd week of July. So it's hopefull that this year the pattern will be repeated. Weather last year wasn't so good but the forecast isn't too bad for the coming week. We'll find out in a day or two if they're returning
