Increased flying operations in Thetford

Communities in Thetford and surrounding regions may notice increased noise from military aircraft as the 48th Fighter Wing conducts increased flying activities January 24-28. 

These operations demonstrate our capability to rapidly generate air response and provide  aircrew and support personnel stationed at RAF Lakenheath the experience needed to maintain a ready force capable of ensuring the collective defense of the NATO alliance. 

The exercise does not include plans for low-altitude flying in the area. All training will be conducted in accordance with Ministry of Defence and U.K. airspace regulations. 

Please contact the MOD at SWK-lowflying@mod.gov.uk with any aircraft-related flying concerns.
