Any ideas why an FR DUB-Birmingham diverted to EMA tonight?

I suspect BHX was closed.

May I ask why? :P

They close around 11ish AFAIK.

Fr669 took off at 10:17pm. 17minutes later than scheduled.

Thinking about it, its unlikely. It seems like usual practice to keep the airport open until all flights scheduled have left/arrived.

Looks like an extra Star Air B762 into Shannon this morning.

OY-SRI direct from Cologne:

while N749AX did the usual multi-stop service earlier.

Oh there was one yesterday as well, OY-SRM with a slightly different ( and still non-standard ) flight number. Still in Shannon as far as I can tell.

Maintenance perhaps?

Update 09:15: yesterday's arrival, OY-SRM, now departed eastwards

Plane flying off the coast of Ireland with its identity blocked. What sort of plane would that be? Air Corps?

No, a business jets. Military either show up as normal or they don't.

Garda helicopter at a guess following yesterday's events in Drumcondra?

Definetly a turbo prop, not a rotor!

As an aside, the Garda Air support chopper yesterday was all black in colour. Looked the part too.

A couple of air corps planes have certainly flown over Stephens Green

A stretched hummer, escorted by 4 Garda outriders, just flew past me here in Santry. I wonder is it related.

Didn't know hummers could fly.. does it have a transponder so we can see it on FR..???

Preparation for Easter Sunday no doubt!

Yeah, they do it every year. About a week before Easter Sunday, they're out, flying around the city in practice for the 1916 commemorations. They try out a few approaches and circles from O'Connell Street. Sometimes heading around by the Phoenix Park. Other times, they take a hard left and fly down over Rathgar before turning right and having another go. I think there were only one or two at it today. I've seen them practicing with more. Next year should be good. Not as good as FlightFest, though. We'd a great view of planes turning over Bushy Park. I have a few good shots of the A380 flying right over the garden. Must hunt them out.

Flybes antics are strange. They start a London City route with a very saturated market and then are surprised when it doesn't work put.
