17:48 INTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICES INC TRUSTEE - AEROSPATIALE AS-350 Ecureuil N240WF heading south towards Lisburn

No radar on the 2nd one.

Yesterday evening around 1740ish I noticed two Helis transiting together heading in the direction of Lisburn. They looked to come from the Ballyclare direction. Anyone, any idea on their identity?

Re the footage of Langford Lodge open day in 1995 when Sally B visited, was there a similar day in 1996 when she came?

I remember going and the staff were letting you inside, but the queue was massive.

I also remember the grass had just been cut that week, it was a lovely sunny day, warm - when the choppers were leaving, the grass was going EVERYWHERE.  As you will have seen from 1995 footage, there was no real cordons up, people were free to go around and as close to the choppers as they pleased.

PM me to explain that, I am not great with PC tech-thanks.Oops re-read your post, instructions included-duh lol

You could try switching to Google's public Domain Name Server to see if that resolves the DNS issue. You probably want to make sure you know how to swap back though!

Quote from: rookie on Mar 07, 2026, 10:17P7832 is the "Genuine" Enniskillen plane, but the plane in the video is P7350 which belongs to BBMF, and is the oldest flying Spitfire.

From what I can find P7832 was Struck of charge (SOC) 28/06/45 and supposedly scrapped.

This video must be from 1994 as P7350 went for a major overhaul in St Athan Wales and came out wearing this paint scheme around that time. It was the. Repainted 3 years later.

According to that article ,Jeffrey Quill took ownership of the Spitfire donating it to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in 1965. So that would contradict it supposedly being scrapped in June 1945. However I can`t find any other evidence of P7832 listed as a member of the BBMF Fleet as yet.

It`s a mystery Scooby -Doo.

I take it this was your source for the scrapping....

Some lovely old school footage here.  Thank you.

Interestingly, had a friend do work experience at Aldergrove in late 90s, with the RAF - said that they Wessex pilot and co-pilot would exit the cockpit while rotors were still coming to a halt...

I can`t get the site to work ( on PC Windows 10 using Edge or Google ) only after 2130 to 0530. I haven`t a clue what`s wrong,maybe it`s a problem on my PC but also affects my tablet (Android) Not sure if the smartphone version is working.
It`s a pain in the buttros butros gally.
