RAF Shawbury 2nd August 2021

Post by rgml » Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:23 am

Visiting Shawbury this morning but no activity yet. It’s 8.25. Is the base stood down for summer holidays? Plan to go over to Valley later today. Hope there is flying there!

Couple of Texans plotting on ADSb around Valley so all may not be lost.

Grateful thanks Dave, just read on RAF Shawbury website that there is night flying for the next 4 nights at Shawbury. Starts at 9.45pm so going to head off to Valley soon. Shawbury hangars closed and helicopters tucked up in bed till this evening! Will return tomorrow evening then back to Sussex!

Thanks Pi. Just chatted to a local farmer. He told me that there has been a massive Covid spike on the base and flying last week did not take place! Such is life! Perhaps be OK this week for night flying.

Not sure your farmer is 100% accurate, they were certainly flying over my house last week.
