No.Departing from Aldergrove after the RAF Families Day.

A nice little line up today apparently,including the two Typhoons,a German Tornado,tow RAF Tornados,a Hawk and a Sea King and a couple of Mirages.

Maybe someone else can confirm / amend this list?

Didn`t know there was a RAF Aldergrove Family Day-pity no-one posted it up. :(

Typhoons left this afternoon I believe-can`t comment on the other aircraft mentioned-I live on the approach to 25 and the only arrivals I saw was the Typhoons-others must have arrived earlier or while I was at work ::)

Pity about the mega-crap weather >:(-can`t believe the amount of rain we have had in the past week or so :o-I haven`t been able to take any photos for over a week now.

Summer in Norn Iron  :-X  :(  :'(

I second that. I'd looked around the net to see if there was any mention of it but couldn't find any.

Hi Folks,

Sorry for the lack of posting, been trying to sort out a new house and only have Internet access from work (which I haven't been at up to today).  As I was clearing the garden yesterday afternoon I also spotted the two Eurofighters coming down the Bann valley.  They continued towards Portstewart at low level then along the coastline to Portrush.  Callsigns used by the flight was 'Gringo' and they worked 379.100 for air/air comms.
