I was at the Portrush air show on Saturday and had an amazing day watching planes perform incredible stunts. It was blue skies and strong Sun the entire time but the wind blowing in from the Atlantic was strong. The highlight was the RAF chopper fyling upside down in a loop like Blue Thunder and the coast guard rescue chopper in action was amazing. Haven't sorted the images out yet but here's a few video clips for now...

Here's an image for now... Very nice; pity they didn't take the smoke away with them, it's turned into a nasty thick layer of stratocumulus depite the "clear" forecast   |

Thanks Steven. I'm having some silly ftp problem at the min so I can't get images uploaded to the site, just text only. I'm getting frustrated trying and getting nowhere. I will get it sorted at some stage.
Brian, I would say you had more than enough noise over that entire weekend!. I know how it feels after those dusk to dawn observing sessions. There's always something out of the ordinary happening to stop any sleep recovery the next day!
