The relevant part of Saturday's schedule (including Dun Laoghaire and Weston) is:
1100 Depart EGEO Oban and overfly Oban Harbour then coastal route south to overfly North Coast and Kiells (Hawker set down for repairs here)
1156 Larne and then coastal route south

1252 Display at Dun Laoghaire followed by landing at EIWT Weston for fuel uplift
1406 Bray Head
1436 Continue south coastal route to Rosslare and then depart Irish airspace

Here are some shots of the PBY Catalina's Visit to Dublin and a nice surprise in the shape of a "Bipe" flying short circuits is it a Boeing Stearman "Spirit Of Tipperary " what a grand old lady :thumbsup:

The Stearman Seem to be taking passengers on pleasure flights nice :applause:

I was luck enough to have flown alongside the Catalina as it departed Weston on Saturday and got some shots of it departing, this attached shot is one of my favourites.
So Tony, this has props, does it meet with your approval?

Great shots BB
Apparently she was slightly delayed so she missed some scheduled points in the north of the country looks like she didn't disappoint at Dun Laoghire :buttrock: :buttrock:

Hi Joey,
Yup, that was me chasing the Stearman, will be editing the pictures shortly so will stick one or two up when done.
Regards,
Frank.

Great pics all round :bowdown:

Love the last shot frank gives the Stearman it's character and the first shot what a backdrop brilliant shots frank :applause: :applause: :airforce_cheesy: the should be published in the next issue of "Flying In Ireland " along with some background material :thumbsup:

Thanks Joey, we'll keep you for another while :-)
Flying in Ireland have been sent some shots. The shots were taken as part of the promo work for FlightFest and one of them will be in the official program.
I think I've got a few shots in the program actually, will wait and see what the finished product looks like :-)
FlightFest should be a great day out, fingers crossed for good weather!
