You mean Fox Covert Drop Zone. Just east of the German Village. Thats some exercise then for you to hear it that close if they dropping that far south.
Cool, must get up there again soon, just need to fix me turbo (AGAIN!!)
Sorry too much wine last night
There is alot of firing on lavington and imber ranges and hercs are going into kevil and that grass airstip that we drive accross
the windows are still shaking more now than last night
Why don't you complain like the people that move into the country and object to cockerals at 5AM in the Summer. Then therea re those that buy houses near airports and want compensation for the noise and night flights banned. Oh. Don't forget teh peeps that buy houses near to railway lines and stations, but complain about the noise of trains and PA announcements. Go for the compensation, quote the Human Rights Act and you are onto a sure winner.
PS Never been near live firing on the plain but was camping very close to the Brecon Beacons when all hell broke loose.
those army people are doing a night fireing session and the house has been shaking for thr the last 20 mins ....wow thay did a good firework show as well as making the night go with a bang!

I have seen 3 or 4 apache helecopters flying around today as well as another late night firing last night and another big one today ....Just found out it could last all month
Funny but I thought the MOD was a bit strapped for cash these days, what with having to cut back on Regiments an ships and having to cannibalise planes and helicopters for spares, so how can they afford to waste so much ammo on exercises. Ah, I bet they're teaching all the TA units and Cadet forces what it's like to be under fire, so that when they have to send them out to Iraq and Afganistan they'll know what to expect from the locals, cause the rate the Regular Army is heamoraging trained soldiers that's all the Government will have left before long.
Hmm, now how could we get all those nice immigrants to show their appreciation for being allowed into this fine country of ours? Well, we could bring back conscription, then conscript them all in to the Army and send them overseas. Wonder if that would work?
