Wittering will be throbbing to the noise of Pawnees & Chipmunks next July as it hosts the RAF Regional Gliding Championships.

Farewell JSFH :'(

Andy, Do you know which unit from CFS is rumoured to be going in to Wittering and will it likely to affect anything that happens at Wyton ? Ta.

Thanks. Have also heard another rumour of new occupants at Witt... a certain Hawk unit, but not THAT one. These are from up north, but further up the A1.

I heard that Barkston heath is to close and move there Aircraft should be moving to Wittering, leaving cranwell and Waddington with alittle more space as previously said this is to unclutter the Lincolnshires airspace, for i work with someone who lives at Wittering and has a partner that works there, the base is open 9-5 week days as a reserve for Visitor landing and Training facility, then the new year the move should happen, Wittering families and spotters :thumb:

Cottesmore spotters and families :'(

Unless the rare chance of this Harrier reserve squadron being set up in the next few months then its certain goodbye! :grr:
