Mach Loop Next Week?

[Okavango]

I'm on hol in Wales next week and was going to pop over to the mach loop if conditions are ok to see if any low flying trainings on. Does anyone know what the chances are? I've seen the MOD timetables though aware they aren't very good for predicting the real low 100-250ft stuff. Thanks.

Might be better asking on the spotters forums mate

I've seen the MOD timetables

Crikey, I never knew they issued timetables;)

Here you go ...

But ...

A list of timetables for operational low flying (OLF) training by RAF fast jets and Hercules aircraft. These timetables only cover 3 tactical training areas (TTA).

These training areas are:

LFA 7(T): central Wales
LFA 14(T): northern Scotland
LFA 20(T): the borders area of southern Scotland and northern England

When the TTA is not in use, there may be other flying activity in the area.

Another good site for info is Mach Loop Video / Photography from LowFlyMedia (http://www.lowflymedia.com) it includes a map of the best viewing sites if you don't already know them.
Avoid the old lowflydotnet as it reroutes to another site which contains links to viruses.
Plan to be cold on the hill sides so extra warm clothes and food helps.
I spent a great day at Cad West a few years back (it was the only good day of the week!).

You won't see anything below 250ft at the Loop because it's not in a tactical training area. The lakes west of Rhayader are probably the only place in 7T that funnels traffic into a predictable location and you're unlikely to see very many even then... stick with the Loop and make do with 250ft+

Thanks Coff, you learn something new every day.
