    Heard Shannon ATC advising aircraft to be aware of "MILITARY ROMEO ONE FIVE" today. Supposedly active over Baldonnel to 3000ft? thought I might have been mistaken the first time, but heard it three times in all. I believe the IAC cessna's use Romeo as a call sign but this was definitely " MILITARY ROMEO" and only the two numbers. Any ideas?

    The "Romeo 15" referred to is an area of airspace near Baldonnel which is restricted to military aircraft at certain times of the day.

    If you have a look at the standard arrival charts for eidw you will see all the R's marked in red on the charts. It'll prob make way more sense cause there referenced everyday

    AIP IRELAND Dublin VFR chart will help.

    But you will probably need a larger scale map for it to be any real use.

    Its a photo of a map, I'm doing some info gathering on military airspace at the moment, there is a lot of it around the Romeo's and it can be hard to read from the current aviation maps.
