They sure are loud and high pitched! Sure when the Silver Swallows used to start up you would be forgiven for wearing ear defenders anywhere in the Don!!

I know, only pulling your leg!! Sorry 
Ive seen them at low level and the reg's are different alright.
The ones that left Bal did go to Valley though according to reports Ive seen on a U.K forum???
They could have done an overshoot and headed on as they do sometimes, on their inbound journey??
I think the ones on deployment may have gone home today as they were'nt spotted at L/L as they have been throughout their stay. There is rumours of Polish Mig-29's coming to Valley for deployment by the end of the summer but these have died down of late. Would be nice if they popped over to Bal for an overnight!

Four FAF Alpha jets departed Bal this mornin as singletons between 09.45hrs and 10.30hrs. They looked and sounded great in the fine weather.
Wish they could send some Rafales aswell!!

The FAF and Navy are all over the UK at the moment because of excercise Joint Warrior. Rafales have been seen at low level in the Lake District, Cumbria on monday gone.
The Alpha's visiting Ireland are nothing to do with the excercise though.
