AN RAF squadron leader is to defend the need for low-flying jets in Teesdale after protests.
The officer is to give a talk in Middleton-in-Teesdale Village Hall at an event organised by the Teesdale Heritage Group.
Local people who have complained about the noise from the aircraft are being encouraged to attend the meeting on Wednesday, December 10, at 7.30pm.
Residents have protested that the jets fly too low and disturb farm animals.
The Ministry of Defence has argued that pilots have to be trained in low-flying techniques in areas such as Middleton-in-Teesdale.
