Fighter pilots from RAF Marham will undertake night-time training next week.

The airbase, near Swaffham, has warned people to expect noise until 11pm from Monday, November 4, until Thursday, November 7.

Pilots from the 207 Sqn squadron will be learning skills to operate F-35 jets at night.

During this period pilots from squadrons 809 NAS and 617 Sqn will ensure their mandatory night-time training requirements are up to date.

A spokesman for the base said: "As much flying as possible will be conducted over the sea in designated training areas but residents in close proximity to RAF Marham may notice an increase in aircraft noise during these evenings as aircraft depart and recover to the airfield."

It comes after RAF Marham welcomed its first female commanding officer.

Group Captain Leonie Boyd took over the reins at the airbase from Gp Capt Fred Wigglesworth.

Accepting the station's symbolic Silver Bull statue from her predecessor, Gp Capt Boyd said: “It is a real honour to take command of RAF Marham and I am looking forward to meeting everyone on station and our families in the local community who I know support RAF Marham in many ways."
