    Hi
    I noted from around 11:00 -12:30 this morning there was quite a bit of what seemed to be general aviation movement over south Dublin (I was in Templeougue and Tallaght) during this time. It seemed to be two aircraft one which looked like an Islander the other a Cessna- don't think it was IAC as didn't sound like it was Rolls Royce powered. Not sure about the "Islander" type whether it was the GASU defender or not.
    Just wondering if anyone seen same and know what it was about.

    Thanks

    Saw it today morning over Rathmines. Two engines and spring undercarriage is pretty unusual. Must be P68.

    The dove g oplc was also spied going back across the Irish sea this morning about 1130. I saw it leave Weston heading west about 10 must have been a test flight or something.... then I was down on poolbeg walk and it went east at about 1000ft.

    Must admit it thought it had gone to Weston to die like the pembroke.... glad to see it leave under it's own steam .

    There has been a lot of back and forth movement over south Co Dublin the last couple of days, guess it must be surveying but I thought that would be weekday stuff. Wish they would finish up whatever they are at
