Tri-Service Exercise , 9-31 March

[David Thompson]

In a press release dated 21 February 2013 RAF Leeming are warning local communities of increased aircraft activity ;

"There will be increased aircraft movementfor a Tri-Service Exercise taking place from RAF Leeming during March 2013 . RAF Leeming will be hosting various exercising aircraft and detachments from 9-31 Marchinclusive , including a large scale Tri-Service exercise . The event is designed to exercise Naval , Army and RAF assets (fixed and rotary wing) , in close support of ground troops ; the nature of the exercise is such that military aircraft activity in these areas will increase marginally for short periods . Low flying for short periods will be necessary , along with some exercising at night ."

It goes on to reaffirm the stations commitment to informing the local community of these events and keeping any disturbance to a minimum . As far as I am aware , as yet no details have appeared in the local press ?

Sorry no further details as yet but someone might know where to look for a NOTAM ?
Thanks

Hi not seen any news in the local papers but I was there on the 14th and they were troop dropping on to the air field.
That must of had something to do with the Exercise.
