Extract from the Orcadian Website.
 

Orkney residents are being warned of a “significant” increase in low-flying aircraft over the next few weeks.

According to MP Alistair Carmichael, a NATO military exercise will take place between January 14 and February 2008.

He said: “If anyone has any specific concerns that arise from this exercise, I would be more than happy to take them up with the MoD.”

The exercise involves air forces from eight NATO countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Italy, and will allow participants to learn more about the capabilities of their NATO partners, through the planning, and conducting of, low-flying missions.
