Saw three of them heading towards Lurgan-flew low over Ballinderry at approx 1646,then back again a few minutes later.

Also saw formation of Puma,Gazelle and Defender just over Lough Neagh near Crumlin on my way home from work at 1703.

Does anyone know if the Harriers will be flying tomorrow?

Raging that I didn't stay long enough to see them today  >:(

Saw the flight of three Harriers doing some passes over my house at approx 1pm today  (Ballinderry). They seemed to be doing a curcuit flying north up to Aldergrove from my position (I presume along runway 01), and back south before doing a 180 turn right over my house.

Nice to see the three in formation  :)

Seems the reason they spent so much time over Lurgan is the group leader comes from just outside the town.

Yeah, you can see an interview with the pilot on the BBC News website.

Any idea what time the Harriers left on Monday? I heard a loud roar at at around 0930 that might have been them-Monday morning weather was very poor so maybe they didin`t go till later.
