Air Waves Portrush

[String]

Sadly not they are going for a long time december they are due to end. They are making it a duel carriage way from the ballycastle road roundabout to ballymena so they will be ongoing for a few months / years. Typical kids back at school and they start roadworks.

What a beautiful autumnal morning.  I hope the weather holds for those heading to the shw today.

@LancsBomberAle: Update: Due to bad weather, VeRA will not be attending today's @ScottishAirshow + Airwaves #Portrush... #BomberTour14 #2LancsUK


They hope to fly tomorrow

Are the Red Arrows' times BST? I'd like to head up to Aldergrove to see them arrive. Not going to Portrush.

According to the Air Waves website they are displaying at 16:30 which would appear to suggest they will arrive at 11:40am on Sunday according to the times above?

Yes,1140 should be about right,but I suggest you get there a bit earlier just in case;last time they came in 10 mins early-I would advise 1100 to give yourself plenty of time.

Thanks

And where exactly is this bad weather? Sat24 weather satellite animation shows mostly clear conditions here and in Scotland. Cloud over England, but the rainfall radar shows very little in the way of rain. Winds are light right across the UK and Ireland.

It's the usual no show at Portrush?

[greglloyd]

Perhaps it's simply because they can only fly VFR? Maybe the cloud base is too low

[duffer80]

I think the weather is bad around Lincoln at present.

Just had a look and there is lots of heavy rain over south Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

I think all those who are there today need to look out for those of us going up tomorrow. Where do you find the best vantage point to be? What's the parking situation? Is Ramore head out?

Here he was in the cloud over Ards a short while ago.  18,000 ft.

What do you mean?  The published plan is for a 22 September departure and in any case the Lanc has to have its own Packard Merlin repaired and refitted before the return journey to Canada.  The current schedule is here:

[Causeway74]

Why would Ramore Head be out?

Somebody mentioned earlier that Ramore didn't seem like a good perch, that it was too far back

CASSA did display and best viewing point was anywhere near the salmon fisheries. it was a great display line.
