Unusual Air Activity at RAF Shawbury

Residents living near the North Shropshire Air Base RAF Shawbury as well as other areas of Shropshire may notice some unusual aerial activity
during the period 21 - 25 June 2010.

RAF Shawbury and the Defence Helicopter Flying School are assisting with preparations for front line operations when ex-students come back to the unit with No18 Squadron. The Squadron, based at RAF Odiham, will be operating from the airbase during the week 21 to 25 June including day and night flying. The helicopters will arrive on Sunday afternoon and operate from the unit from Monday morning. From Tuesday to Thursday they will also complete night flying until 03.00 each morning. The Squadron regularly prepares for front line operations by operating from other units around the country, but this is the first time they will have operated their Chinook helicopters from the North Shropshire airbase for a longer period. All the crews would have previously trained at the unit at the Defence Helicopter Flying School and are all used to operating from the airfield. The flying they will be doing includes operating within the Shawbury low flying area as well as utilising the Mountain training areas in North Wales and ranges on the coast. The 3 Chinook helicopters may be accompanied on part of the training by
2 Apache helicopters.

Details of the operations can be found at www.raf.mod.uk/rafshawbury/events/
