The Ministry of Defence has announced that a small-scale air exercise will take place over parts of Dorset on 7th & 8th August 07. The Exercise is designed to practice close air support operations and forward air control techniques; this is essential training for the UK Aircrews and Ground Forces and allows them to practice various procedures before possible deployment to operational theatres.
Exercise aircraft will operate in the general area of Bridport, Dorchester and Weymouth and flying will take place on both days, during daylight hours, between 1000 and 1700.
Aircraft types involved will include Tornado and Hawk.
Most Exercise flying will be at medium level; however, some low level operations will be required but any time spent flying at low level during this exercise will be the minimum necessary to achieve the task with every effort being made to minimise disturbance. Additionally, where low flying operations have been arranged as part of the exercise, this precludes the use of the same area by aircraft carrying out routine low-level training flying.
