RAF jets and other plane activity will increase across the region during the remainder of August and parts of September after increased flight activity was announced by RAF Leeming.
The North Yorkshire RAF base revealed on Monday (August 12) that there would be a slight increase in aircraft exercises from the base between August 17 and September 15 as it conducted additional exercises.
Within the announcement, RAF Leeming also said that there would be some periods of 24-hour operation, but promised to keep the disturbance to a minimum.
In a statement, the RAF base said: "The Station will be hosting multiple aircraft types for events which will include low flying and some periods of 24-hour operation.

- Plans submitted for demolition of 'unsustainable' North East council homes
- Major housing approved despite concerns over ‘ludicrous’ traffic plan
- Hefty sentences imposed as swift justice is meted out to North East rioters
"We understand our responsibility as good neighbours to inform the local community of such events that are additional to our normal flying activities and every effort will be made to keep the disturbance to a minimum."
The news from RAF Leeming comes several weeks after the amazing display from the Red Arrows at the RAF base.
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team flew over large parts of North Yorkshire, and Darlington, with people even spotting them in West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire, as they made their way to and from the display on July 25.
