As part of Exercise Swift Pirate, large aircraft are expected to operate during the day from Tuesday 15th February until the evening of Thursday 17th February. There will be night flying from 1700 to 2100 on Tuesday 15th February until the evening of Thursday 17th February.
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. 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.
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.
