An RAF base has issued a noise warning to locals due to training exercises this week. 

RAF Marham near Swaffham is conducting training between Monday and Thursday and has been granted special permission to fly until 12.30am on Monday and Tuesday nights.

A statement shared on the base's Facebook page warned: "Residents in close proximity to RAF Marham may notice an increase in aircraft noise during this time.

"We apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disturbance that this may cause."

The message was met with a positive response from neighbours.

One person wrote: "As a resident in Fincham I see and hear the planes all the time and still enjoy living so close to RAF Marham. 

"The aircraft noise has never been an issue for us and we understand that the crews need to train - we are so appreciative of all the RAF personnel who are ready to defend our country, so thank you for all your service."

Another added: "I used to live at Marham and miss hearing the jets now that I live in Kings Lynn town centre."

It comes after RAF Mildenhall warned of "an increase in the noise level and frequency of aircraft taking off" over the next few weeks.
