Subject to the usual caveats

Oh the joys, just my luck - I'm scheduled to overnight nearby on Sunday 26th only to find they're night flying that week...

In all seriousness though, does night flying mean there's absolutely NO daytime stories at all as if that's the case I may as well rearrange my day completely.
Thanks!

The notams for next week shows the base opening at 1345.

Normal flying would probably start sometime between 2 and 3.

Each night flying week is different so it's hard to be accurate.

There can be flying outside of these times, there's also some visitors due Mon.

No there will always be some day flying. The OCU will have students at various stages of training. Not all pilots will be rated for nights too

The opening hours are now posted, nothing will fly until nearly 2pm. Other than QRA and 41 because we all know 41 do what 41 want

OK, many thanks for that, will stick to original plans and try our luck then.

Much appreciated. Ta.
