RAF Leeming has warned of additional aircraft activity which may cause disturbance in the Harrogate district.
In a social media post, the North Yorkshire airforce base, which is 12 miles from Masham and 22 miles from Harrogate, said it will conduct several exercises in the run up to Christmas.
The activity is likely to be heard in nearby Ripon, Kirkby Malzeard and Masham as well as the wider Harrogate district.
The station added “every effort” would be made to keep disturbances to a minimum.
The base said in its post:
“The station is about to enter a period of significant additional aircraft movement, with several exercises operating from here in the run-up to Christmas.
“From the beginning of November, RAF Leeming will host multiple aircraft types for sorties which will include low flying and some periods of 24 hour operation.
“We understand our responsibility as good neighbours to inform the local community of movements which are additional to our normal flying activity and every effort will be made to keep the disturbance to a minimum.”
