WIll probably change daily though.

Roughly speaking it means that a protective area or "Display Box" is established and all other aircraft must avoid this area during the specified times,and be on the lookout for other air traffic.
 
Display rehearsals 6NM(Nautical miles) Radius of Portrush and to height of 5000ft on 3rd Sept 11.00am-1.00pm
 
Hillsborough BBMF 3NM Radius of Hillsborough and to height of 2000ft on 4th Sept 1.45pm-2.20pm
 
The BBMF flypast is only the Dakota as far as I know.

So where's everyone heading to? I'm going to Ramore Head.

Paul

Finally decided to go, after debating all week whether or not to make the trip. Loyalty won out in the end.  8)

I'll be up on on Ramore Head as well. Weather forecast is starting to look iffy again with both sun and showers predicted for tomorrow. In Portrush speak that means showers all day  :P

Met Office now showing some promise for tomorrows weather!

Think I'll stick to West Bay, but gutted we don't have any heli's this year. My 200mm lens was perfect reach, so I'll only really be shooting the reds

 >:( I missed it too, I heard it, but couldn't see it............... :'(
Does anyone know what time it is displaying tomorrow? Pleeeeeease?? :-*

I have to try and get to see it, as I have a large GSD, and it would be unwise to take him, as he would pull me off my feet hearing that one  :o
If I knew the time, I would take a quick run over to try and see it.

Thanx for any info  :-*
