    Probably the IMF dropping off the first part of the loan

    I was driving so couldn't get a proper long look but from what I can make out it was a 2engine..just thought it was very unusual! Extremely low!

    Forgot to say, it was roughly as big as a a320

    A Polish Air Force CASA was in Baldonnel recently maybe that was it departing but what direction was it heading? Was it going South or North?

    Because of all the cumulonimbus clouds around there will be a lot of requests to deviate from standard departures, it may have been due to a request for an early turn after departure, bringing it over the city. May also have been a go-around and a turn to avoid weather, they changed runways about that time this evening due to a report of tail winds and skidding on runway 28

    RYR1EY did a go around from about 700ft. Saw it from the back garden while having a cig before making dinner. Big dirty bank of cloud was approaching the airport from the south and looked as if it might be about to dump a shed load of snow right on the airport. Thunder and lightning happened a minute or 2 later.

    Casper agrees.

    It was a ryanair 737, go to http://casper.frontier.nl/eidw/ and track it to half 7, you can see it comes in to land westwards, then pulls up and goes around pretty close to the runway, and is eventually sent up to meath in a circuit with a couple others. they had 7 or 8 stacked at one point. The wind changed obviously on late approach as it just landed heading eastwards, and i wonder did they need to clear snow from the runway or something aswell.

    Doesnt give a flight number but i think it came from stansted

    Strange thing was that it went around to the south when they usually go to the north to ROKNA (beyond Lambay). Then it went up to hold with a few others around ULTAG (I think)/(over Navan/Trim). Landed about 30/40 mins later in the other direction.

    Lots of pretty patterns on Casper.

    was thinking runway change or something last night.

    was out walking the dog last night and there were 6 or 7 stacked up.

    It might as well have been EIN664, an A320 on the way from DUB to VIE. According to casper it went right over the city center at about 7:15pm yesterday at an altitude of around 4000ft in a southwesterly direction. Would have been fairly loud while climbing out I suppose...

    That went a good bit to the west of the IFSC and was at least 15 mins earlier.

    Yes, you are right. Interesting to see that RYR1EY didn't come back to land before 20:19pm, so they had to circle for almost 50 minutes. Quite a significant time after a one hour flight...
