1450 Noted N of Carrickfergus AEROSPATIALE AS-355 Ecureuil 2 G-BPRJ as PDG61. I wonder if they are checking powerlines ?

I saw flight QR740/QTR39c (Airbus A350-1041 A7-AND) was speaking 7700 and came off the Alantic and diverted to EDI. I thought BFS was classed as an emergency divert airport a few years back or am I wrong??

Malmö MFI-9 Junior

The Malmö Flygindustri MFI-9 Junior was a light aircraft from Sweden in the 1960s. It was also produced under licence as the Bölkow Bo 208.

It was an upgraded version of the earlier BA-7 which was a prototype. It went into production as the MFI-9 Junior. Changes included a larger cockpit with an uprated engine,a Continental O-200-A flat-four-cylinder air-cooled piston engine giving 100 HP. In 1963 it was followed by the MFI-9B Trainer and then the MFI-9B Mili-Trainer. All versions had a tricycle undercarriage.
Between 1963 and 1971, 210 Bölkow Bo 208s were built under licence by Bölkow Apparatebau GmbH, Germany.

A number of MFI-9Bs had been built for the Swedish Air Force, but when the sale fell through, the aircraft became available at a reduced price. In May 1969, Carl Gustaf von Rosen formed a mercenary squadron of five MiniCOINs to fight in the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970) on the side of the Biafrans, the aircraft were known as the Biafra Babies.
Pilots included RCAF Lynn Garrison among a group of mercenaries and Biafran-born pilots. Garrison co-ordinated the attacks, personally destroying an Ilyushin Il-28 and a MiG-17 during the first raid on Port Harcourt.18 aircraft were eventually supplied.

I found this on youtube........Bray Air Display 2023 July 29th (Saturday) - YouTube

It`s so so awfully bad, it`s brilliant, highlights include " Confused Girl with Huge Hot Dog " " Mrs Massive Black Umbrella ", " Putin`s Spy " , and many more.

Could be edited down to 15-20mins of the actual flying, it`s a great illustration of why I dislike seaside air-shows, most of the people there haven`t got a clue, I don`t just mean the aircraft.
The fact that whoever is recording this did not think to move to one side of " Putin`s Spy ", also zero manners from the other spectators, who just amble about in front of the person recording,
it`s actually very entertaining in a bizarre way--like a social experiment almost.

It should be entered into the Cannes Film Festival as Best / Worst Documentary.

Display lines at shows seem to be getting pushed out further and further each year, especially the seaside shows.
Personally speaking I think seaside shows are all but pointless now, unless there is something really special happening.
Every year you need more powerful lenses, or Bino`s to see anything, and that`s assuming it`s not raining.
Also from what I have read, many display pilots do not like to display over water, as lack of ground reference is a major problem.
