RESIDENTS WARNED OF THREE NIGHTS OF RAF TRAINING

Residents have been warned RAF planes will be flying overnight for three nights as part of training exercises.

RAF Spadeadam, based near Brampton in Cumbria, said people could expect to see or hear their aircrafts from Monday to Thursday between 18:00 BST and 02:00.

They plan to fly across Cumbria and Northumberland and have warned planes may also be spotted outside of those hours.

This is part of routine training, an RAF spokesman said.

"This activity is normal routine training, and this notification is made as the activity is outside the standard range training times," they added.

It is the third time this month that the base, which is the largest RAF station and the only Electronic Warfare Tactics facility in Europe, has warned residents of night-time exercises in the area.

Previous training sessions took place on the nights of 16 and 24 April.
