RAF LEEMING: Increased movement 7 -24th July


There will be increased movement by exercising aircraft operating from RAF Leeming from 7-24 July 2025. The Station will be hosting rotary aircraft for an exercise which will include low and possibly late flying. 
This will be followed by the Station Families Day on 24 July – which will feature aircraft displays.
We understand our responsibility as good neighbours to inform the local community of such events that are additional to our normal flying activities and every effort will be made to keep the disturbance to a minimum
