This was a major headache for the MoD during the Libyan campaign in 2011, when Tornado departures from Marham were being broadcast in real-time over Twitter and spotting sites. Wouldn't take a genius to work out when those same aircraft would be over their targets. Remember the MoD at the time 'requesting' that such movements not be broadcast live, and as far as I recall the request being largely respected.
