Good afternoon,
I write to inform you that on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th February 2021, RAF Brize Norton will be using the 25m Range from approximately 1000 – 1500 hrs.
This is to allow our 2624 Royal Auxiliary Air Force (RAuxAF) Regiment Squadron to conduct essential Phase Two training to RAuxAF RAF Regiment
Gunners. This training is crucial activity to the preservation of the 2624 Squadron personnel Phase 2 training pipeline.
Options to re-locate this training to an alternative location have been pursued, however due to waterlogging at another Range, this precludes completion of much of the range activity. This training has also been deferred from last year and Range availability limits the option to delay this training further.
In order to minimise the disturbance to our local community, we have reduced the number of personnel attending this training which will decrease the number of live fire, in addition to this, the number of rounds and the operating hours have also been reduced.
I apologies in advance for any disturbance caused during this time whilst we are constrained to our home environments, due to the National Lockdown.
Please allow me to reassure you that all efforts have been made to reduce the scale, duration and impact of this activity within our local community.
Finally, I wish you well in these difficult times.
Take care,
Kindest regards,
Leanne King
Mrs L M King |D| Media and Communications Officer
