There are other aircraft that are deployed for Ex Yorknite such as the Cougar helicopters and a Bombardier CC-144C Challenger. The F18s of the Swiss Air Force have the opportunity to carry out their low level flying training as doing this in Switzerland this time of year posses avalanche risks in the Alps and other low flying areas. So, they come the UK for this. RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire trains, delivers and supports UK and overseas Expeditionary Air Operations. It is home to a wide range of squadrons and lodger units with broad expertise. As it's in close proximity to training areas at Spadeadam, Otterburn and Catterick, RAF Leeming is the preferred site for deployed exercises and detachments from UK and overseas units. Also operating out of Leeming are Hawk Mk.167 of the 11 Qatari Emiri Air Force training in the fast jets. Based here are; 34 Squadron RAF Regiment 607 Squadron RAuxAF 609 Squadron RAuxAF RAF Mountain Rescue Service 1 Engineering Support Squadron 2 Field Communications Squadron 3 Field Communications Squadron 4 Capability and Innovation Squadron 5 Information Services Squadron 6 Cyber Reserve Squadron 591 Signals Unit Yorkshire Universities Air Squadron Northumbrian Universities Air Squadron 90 Signals Unit Operational Training Centre Joint Forward Air Control Training and Standardisation Unit 2 Force Protection Wing Tactical Communications Wing In the 1930s the station began in a civilian role and the aerodrome was Londonderry Aerordrome. Londonderry being the hamlet closest. When the Air Ministry purchased the land and surrounding areas to constructed relevant buildings and hangers, it was complete in JUNE 1940. Being pre December 1940, meant that the class A configured hardened runways were not installed. It was the home to the first operational four engined heavy bomber, the Short Stirling in November 1940 with 7 squadron. In 1961, Leeming became a Basic Flying Training School in 1961 and the Central Flying School arrived in 1977. In 1984 RAF Leeming joined Number 11 Group Strike Command and was revamped to open in 1988 as a major operational station. Nos 11(F), 23, and 25(F) Squadrons, all flying the F3. After 20 years of defending the UK skies RAF Leeming’s Tornado F3 days ended with the disbandment of XXV(F) Sqn in 2008. The 90 Signals Unit moved to RAF Leeming in 2007 and now account for around half the Station population, with around 950 personnel providing vital information and communication services to operations within the UK and around the world.
