This is really getting on my nerves. Really loud aircraft keep coming out of Eglinton and then flying over the top of my house but I CAN'T see them AT ALL.

I live between Limavady and Colreaine so I am on the approach path for the airport so I should be seeing them and they aren't on the radar..  ::)

Brilliant to see the pair of Lancasters and Spitfires,was worth the journey alone,just a pity the light conditions were very poor for them,but at least it stayed dry.
Mustang and Canberra again were fantastic,if anything the Canberra was better than yesterday,also was very impressed with The Blades display.I left just as the RV8r`s display started as my leg was really hurting,so I hobbeled back to the car for around 3pm.
The town was really getting crammed,with droves of people arriving,even so late in the afternoon.Black Rock`s were full of people,much to my surprise.
I got back just in time to see the Reds returning to Aldergrove. :)

What aircraft apart from the Reds are at Aldergrove?

Not sure,but I thought I heard the Tucano land at BFS a few minutes ago,also the Lynx might head back there as well.

That's an awesome photo. Love it because they took the trouble to take it over Aldergrove :-)

Really enjoyed the Reds arrival today at Aldergrove

Did anyone watch the documentary tracking the Reds' training for this year? ("Inside the Bubble"). It was great programme.

Each time I watch them this year I think about the two new guys and how much of a buzz they must be getting joining the team.

If you are interested, it can be seen on YouTube :-
