    Extremely loud single bangs have been going off in the air over D7 the last few days. Was on Stoneybatter when one went off and everyone around me looked up. Maybe an hour or two between them. Something to do with Europe being frozen and Ireland's weird relatively warm snap?
    reaching like crazy, but the bangs have been happening.

    Well, it's not like we can stop them - what with us not really having an airforce.

    But yeah, as I understand it we have no official agreement but more of an "gentleman agreement" with the UK over our airspace. We can ask for assistance and if they can they'll provide it, likewise they can ask to take a shortcut over our airspace and we generally won't say no - a practice dating back to at least the second world war, where patrols from NI to the Atlantic would go as the crow flies as opposed to around our airspace. We just pretended to not notice.

    Also, post Sept 11 we've told them that if they need to escort an aircraft within our airspace we won't object (obviously, we'd need to be convinced of the need to escort it first, it's not open season)

    None, just various bits I've read in papers over the years and for some unknown reason decided were important enough to remember.

    I'm fairly sure I saw a Jet in the sky on Saturday night, either that or it was a propper UFO :eek:
