The Yellow Gnat G-MOUR used to belong to Pink Floyd`s Dave Gilmour-there`s a bit of useless information for you.

Alo III and nose of Hunter XE643 in Donard park. I think latter is an ATC exhibit.

UAS have ejection seat and a couple of engines under tarps.

Beach closed-off

I can envisage some "altercations" today with numpty's ignoring the plea not to go far down towards the tide ! methinks a few quad bikes might be in order .... long beach lol

How come? if its high tide, that means closer aircraft

ni_gaz · « **Reply #309 on:** August 09, 2014, 11:14:16 AM »

low tide though at show time ... or at least well on its way out.

Morning all, The Turnips haven't made it to Newcastle due to a sudden close bereavement in my wife's family

Staying home this afternoon, and my radio still hasn't resurfaced, so if anyone gets a hint of any show participants
arriving or leaving BFS we would REALLY appreciate it if you could please post it up.

Many thanks, and enjoy the show all of you who made it to Co Down

smudge · « **Reply #311 on:** August 09, 2014, 12:09:48 PM »

Sad to hear that AT, regards to the Turnips.

Windbreaks sprouting now so I expect tempers to rise down here...

I'm really going to have to work on my boredom threshold.

If I were a teenager I'd be indulging in antisocial behaviour by now.

Maybe you should have brought a colouring book,or dot to dot

I am sure the show will be good once it gets going,have a snooze and chill.

Sneaky_Nikon · « **Reply #319 on:** August 09, 2014, 01:35:50 PM »

I normally do as the Smudges have and book in somewhere but didn't this tear, hence out of bed and on the road early. Next year it's either the hotel again or the colouring book.

gadwall58 · « **Reply #320 on:** August 09, 2014, 01:38:04 PM »

I notice lots of showers starting to build on the southern side of Carlingford Lough. Hopefully these will push out into the Irish Sea.

This dirge that she is singing should push any weather out to sea
