Going to Whitby on the 12th August. Just noticed on the Whitby Regatta website that there’s a BBMF flypast of the Lancaster, so no doubt a Notam will be in place. I’m sure I’ve seen Notams on Altitude Angel for BBMF flights before, but can’t remember how long these are in place for . Is it only for an hour or so , or all day ? ( yes I will check on the day)
There is no standard time - but any NOTAM will have a start and end date/time.

Yep, the notam for this is up now. B’stards have got it from 11 am on the Saturday right through to 17:30 on the Sunday. I know the Lancaster is doing a flypast on the Saturday and the Red Arrows are putting in an appearance on the Sunday, but over 30 hrs worth of no flying 
Ahh well, looks like taking my dslr instead 
The larger, Red Arrows (no relative ) , NOTAM is for a Flight Restriction, but it is only for 35 mins in Sunday - 16:05 to 16:40
The smaller NOTAM for the Air Display, generally, is only a Temporary Navigation Warning between 11:00 Sat and 17:30 Sunday.
Yes, can’t really see a reason for the air display NOTAM lasting overnight though ( unless they’ve got one of these mass drone displays in the evening ? ( nothing on the Whitby Regatta website though )
Admin - just one NOTAM is easier to submit than two.
It’s only a warning, though, not a “Flight Restriction”.
Hmmmm not sure about that Ozone. So with care , do you think I could fly there ? Don’t want to fall foul of the law and feature on a Geeksvana special report about a drone operator fined,imprisoned and hung drawn and quartered for flying when he shouldn’t .
The clue is in the name, it’s a “Notice” 
The main display action will be on the beach and more out to sea, and it’s a simple circular NOTAM. So even during display hours, there shouldn’t be too much happening inland … possibility of planes holding before their display, but on coastal displays they usually do that further up/down the coast.
So, outside the obvious times when the display is active I’d still fly with suitable caution and consideration (as with any flight anywhere) … because there’s nothing to say I can’t.
Yes and I know NOTAMS are supposed to apply to aircraft with pilots in them. So strictly speaking I should be ok to fly with caution ? Really don’t want some rookie / experienced cop arresting me because he/ she doesn’t know the rules. Might be best to take DJ Audits along to test the waters first. 
Consider it a public spirited duty to educate them?
Yeah right.
