Hi, Just in case anyone reading this thread isnt aware, I run the EIDW (Dublin) live air traffic control feed that you can tune into by clicking here https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=eidw

Over the weekend I am hoping to setup a live atc feed to cover the event at Bray. (no promises, 1st try at a mobile broadcast)


If it works out you can tune in by clicking the above link and then clicking on the EIDW op's option on that page or just click here to go straight in: https://www.liveatc.net/flisten.php?icao=eidw&mount=eidw_ops

This also works on your mobile phone by installing the Liveatc app or just by searching for "Liveatc EIDW".

If your planning to listen to anything on your phone, laptop, pad etc remember to bring headphones!

If anyone in the know has any interesting freq that should be included on my list please post or pm me.

Enjoy.

Hi there-do you know if the planes at the bray airshow will show up on websites like flight radar?

Any reports on M11 traffic? I couldn't avoid heading out and will be coming back to Bray around 15:00. Show started and traffic gone by then?

Traffic was slow from Sandyford to Bray on M50/M11 when I went through. Show doesn't start til 15.30 today so I'd say it'll probably still be quite slow at that time unfortunately

Would love to head to Bray from Kildare but the traffic is turning me off, was a nightmare 2 years ago.

Considering driving to luad at red cow then luas into city then dart to bray, would this be recommended over driving directly?

Mech1

sounds like we have a very weak Bray reception, I dont know how cause I can almost see the beach!

Two vampires just flew by my place heading back to Dublin.

We went out to Weston for a while earlier. I think it was the five Team Ravens that were parked up, but were moved a while later. Not much action, apart from private planes. But, we saw the Strikemasters coming in, and passed right by us along the runway. Four small red planes took off, perhaps for one of the airshows as well.

We had just got back to the car when the Catalina came in, followed shortly by the two Spitfires. Coming back along the N7 then, the DC-3 flew over. And, having arrived at my sister and brother-in-law's parents a few minutes later, it flew over again. I got a not so great photo as it went over. So, having waited ages for such action, it happened just as we were leaving. Typical

But, having been at Weston, seeing the bit of action, it has inspired me to take up flying lessons at some stage. But, that's another story. Roll on tomorrow

Luas and DART would probably be better than driving to Bray, but both will be packed. My advice would be to leave early and drive to Greystones instead, then get the DART back to Bray. Traffic isn't too bad and the DART isn't as packed

Catalina flew over me in Sandyford on it way back to Weston earlier, it's like a big slow whale plodding through the sky.
