From DIO Castlemartin - the range is active this week 11th September onwards. French Rafale aircraft are cooperating with British Army ground units. The aircraft so far have all been pairs.
It appears from observing the jets overhead that the aircraft are using the range several times each day First: Around mid morning, 2nd Early Afternoon. 3rd late Afternoon then once or twice each evening c. 8:00pm and 10:00pm - times vary and weather has caused some issues.
Pilots can be heard communicating with the range and each other using the UHF range frequencies and Mil ICF for the transits to and from.
