Don't worry I don't think that we are being invaded. Probably just training from Baldonnel

The world famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Display Team "The Red Arrows" will be performing a flypast to mark the Press Launch of the Bray International Airshow at the Bray Seafront at 3.46pm.

The Team, flying their distinctive BAE Hawk Aircraft led by Squadron Leader Dicky Patounas, will then go on to Co. Longford to perform a full display at Abbeyshrule's 50th Anniversary of Aviation Airshow which commences at 2.00pm; the display by the Red Arrows will take place at 4.00pm.

Details of the manoeuvres performed by the team can be found on their website: www.raf.mod.uk/reds

Bray to Longford in 14 minutes - we can only dream.

Pigman II · 22-05-2005 03:57PM

That was pretty crazy! I think I remember hearing the RedArrows from my gaf as when doing a flyby of Lansdowne last year for some rugby match .... but it was no way as loud and ominous as whatever went by me today, not even close

They change their livery from time to time. If worst came to worst and the UK faced invasion they become a combat squadron (light attack, I think).

ixoy · 22-05-2005 04:12PM

Ah good old boards. Just around 15:45 I heard the noise of a plane get louder, and louder, and louder until I had to step out the balcony (I'm in the city centre) and saw a group of jets flying in formation overhead. They appeared red, so I wondered if it was the Red Arrows performing for an airshow. And I knew that, if I was to find the answer anywhere, it'd be here. I wasn't disappointed. Bless you all!
