The JHC visiting aircraft page seems very vague at times,but I suppose they have strict guidlines  to follow;I will be keeping an ear/eye out for it tomorrow.

Not sure who he is (from somewhere in Fermanagh i think),but he did a flypast on Friday at St Angelo before heading up to Aldergrove for the Families Day.I watched it from where i work - spectacular!!
