Already registered for this  ;D

The guy who runs the group organised a visit to Eirtech Aviation down at DUB last year which I was part of.

Very enjoyable day out and great support from Eirtech themselves; near unrestricted hangar access.

A visit to DHL, also at DUB, was scheduled but got hung-up on security issues. Seems that while the firms themselves are in favour of the visits the DUB authorities aren't all that keen.

Hopefully that won't be an issue for this event.

I am, probably head down early though and spot for an hour or two.

For anyone driving down, the Carlton Hotel on Swords Road is a good choice for parking. Cheaper than the airport and free shuttle bus every 30 mins  :)

I think I'll leave Belfast around 11:30, maybe before? Give plenty of time to get a good spot beforehand!
