If anyone wants to have a wee look here are some of the snaps I took on Saturday. Probably the best airshow I've seen over here in NI

Should be a link to a folder on my skydrive with them all in it :)

Really nice helicopter shots too!

Cheers :)

The irish coast guard heli was incredible, felt sorry for the people standing further down near it though, the downdraft must have moved half of the sand on the beach onto them

Love the Vulcan too. Was lucky enough to work on a restoration job years ago on one of those. It was only a museum piece which would never fly again but was great to get stuck into such an iconic aircraft. You gotta love a concorde engined bomber!

Everytime I go to an airshow it shows me im in the wrong career path. Should have done something aerospace realated in uni.
