Hornet has a 2pm practise time, obviously weather dependant.
That my be scuppered if this is accurate - No break in rain till 3pm, but thats because it only forecasts upto 3hrs infront. pretty accurate at the moment

Re: Arrivals
Drone incursion has suspended all flying, apparently? Don't think the Czech AF have validated yet.

Correct, plenty of RAF Police patrols outside now. Still waiting for the Czech Gripen and ALCAS to turn up.
Though the RR Spit XI and a Cessna Caravan have just taken off, so hopefully the Czech contingent can get over quickly.
Re: Arrivals
Any movement by the Czechs?

Hmm. Airfield closes at 1800?

Surely they can keep the airfield open for a little longer to validate the Czechs? Or is it not as simple as that?
Re: Arrivals
This whole drone thing is going to become a paradise for idiots and attention seekers on the internet ... 'oohhh look at what Ive done to ruin peoples day ' .. Police have gone to stamp hard on it from the start.
Anyway, it wasnt great weather , but there was some hardy souls there in our big coats (in June eh ! )
I managed to see some of the planes ; Orion , Spitfirse, and the the Swiss Hornet
Short video of the Swiss hornet I took https://youtu.be/Zq6p71doBV8

Re: Arrivals
Seems to be a lot of police helicopter activity around Shawbury...
Re: Arrivals
Think the temporary restricted airspace was only in place until 1700z 1800l so probably diff8cult to have a validation after this time.
Re: Arrivals
Can they still perform tomorrow?
