ROYAL AIR FORCE MARHAM
ADVANCE NOTICE OF NIGHT FLYING
30 SEPTEMBER - 03 OCTOBER 2024
RAF Marham will be conducting Night Flying on Monday 30th September – Thursday 3rd October inclusive.
On Monday night permission has been granted to continue flying until midnight, and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night aircrew will be participating in a military exercise and flying will be conducted at the later times of 1600-0045hrs.
As much flying as possible will be conducted over the sea in designated training areas, but residents in close proximity to RAF Marham may notice an increase in aircraft noise during these times as aircraft depart and recover to the airfield.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience and disturbance that this may cause and hope that communicating this information to you in advance will assist in minimising the impact to our valued neighbours.
There will be no flying from RAF Marham on 28-29 Sep or 05-06 Oct.
