    Thanks. I'll take a look. The Goose has been in the UK for maintenance for several months. I hadn't heard that it was back yet.

    Im on hols so cant go this year. But every year I try to get there for 1130. (DART from Tara/Pearse)
    Gives me time to have a walk around, grab a bit of lunch and settle somewhere before the crowds arrive after 1pm.

    A Spitfire just flew down the Liffey towards Weston or Bal so I'm guessing will be displaying.

    Just landed in Weston. A glorious sight to see in the skies over Dublin.

    They've just finished up in Rush this last few minutes… Fantastic view, and the iPhone camera doesn't do it justice at all…

    Thanks for the headsup! I heard an unusual engine noise and raced out in D5 and saw the 4 Jordanian Falcons passing.

    Saw them a while ago over Leixlip. Is the Spitfire still out in Weston?

    Lineup does not look great this year. Although I'll still be going. My first Bray Airshow since before the Pandemic.

    Are there any websites that I can listen to the ATC for the show. I see from the FAQ that "ATC on 119.60 MHz", or do I need to have a proper air-band radio.

    C295 overhead a couple of time in South Dublin. I'm guessing practise for the weekend.

    Was out on Weston earlier very quiet,no doubt the wind wasn't helping. Do we know what is out there;

    Falcons

    Spitfire,

    Mustang, Jet pitts, Stearmans for the Wing Walkers did any of these make it over from the UK?

    To my knowledge those aircraft listed in your last line have not arrived in Weston, as yet anyway. The Spitfire is not listed in the programme so may be a substitute. If the weather on Saturday morning is OK you may see some making the sea crossing. Bray has been plagued with changeable weather around the show date on several occasions and this year is no exception.

    Spitfire was on the website, then disappeared but is now in Dublin. T6 Texan was also meant to come with the Spitfire and P51 but it disappeared from listings too.

    The Blades RV8s are heading up towards North Wales at the moment so presumably en route to Weston or Newcastle.

    G-JPIT Pitts is passing Holyhead also.

    Mustang G-BIXL flew Duxford to Sleap (Shropshire) last evening so will presumably continue this morning.

    Not a Airshow, it's a small gathering of interested people all trying to make a few bob. And organising people trying to convince you and me to attend same and spend money in the town.

    Really bad this year!!
