From the Lossie AUWG 4/11/2014: “FS Knox reminded the AUWG that Tain Range is now licensed for ground firing (groundtroops)
and that this was likely to happen when the range tower was not manned by controllers. All activity will be notified by NOTAM,
however there are no confirmed procedures in place to enable the deconfliction of flights to/from the local airfields.”

Rumoured/leaked
“Activity will be two weekends a month” “It will be mainly RAF Regiment TA from Lossie”
“The proposal is to reinstate the previous SFC to 5000’ for both land and sea areas.”
“Permission to land and take-off at Dornoch will have to be sought by telephone.”
Just the landward area, but avoiding Fearn and Easter Airfields and the Tain Microlight strip would keep everyone happy.
