Night-flying expected around RAF Wittering
It's so crews can train in using things like night-vision goggles
Night flying with large aircraft is expected at Royal Air Force Wittering from tonight (Tuesday 15th March) until the evening of Thursday (17th March) inclusive.
It will take place from 7pm to 11pm, as crews train with Night Vision Goggles.
RAF Wittering says online: 'Operating under the cover of night is essential to modern military operations. Night Vision Goggles are a real tactical advantage and enable our crews to land and take-off safely during the hours of darkness.
'Royal Air Force Wittering is reaching out to its neighbours and the nearby equestrian establishments to inform them of a change to the usual pattern of flying activity.
'The Station is one of several that supports night flying; a variety of airfields and environments gives crews a breadth of experience and ensures that no single area is unduly burdened.'
