People living near RAF Lakenheath in north Suffolk have been warned of noise due to night-time flying.

The 48th Fighter Wing will conduct limited night flying at RAF Lakenheath across eleven days in September. 

The remaining dates include September 11 to 14 and September 18 to 21.

During this time aircraft will be taking off, landing and transiting between RAF Lakenheath and over the North Sea several times between 7pm and 10.30pm. 

Brigadier General Joseph L. Campo, 48th Fighter Wing commander, said: "We understand the disturbance this may cause to our local communities".

"We appreciate the patience and understanding as we ensure our Airmen remain trained and ready to secure the sovereign skies anytime, day or night".

The exercise does not include plans for low-altitude flying in East Anglia or the surrounding areas.

Overland flying will be limited as much as possible between sunset and sunrise.
