Following the disappointment of not getting down to Dublin at the weekend for the Rugby charters, I needed to satisfy this weeks thrist for some aviation action. Despite the lousey weather forecast, I opted to head early down to BHD with a friend for a bit of a catchup and a bite to eat at Ikea. Turns out to be a crystal clear morning by the time we arrive at 9am. ;D
I believe I saw a few guys from NIAG (including Les I think?) but unfortunately didn't get a chance for a natter.
I'm not as imaginative as Peter yesterday and choose to remain on the top level Ikea carpark where it was surprisingly very warm in the sun.

It seems Manx2 have replaced the crashed Metroliner with a Jetstream 31.

This Q400 was delivered to Olympic Airways last year and was only painted into FlyBE livery this year.
