Well done and thanks to all involved in getting the day planned and run. Very enjoyable. A pitty the weather was a bit rough and not all the scheduled aircraft made it, but it was still a really great spectacle.

I watched from Clontarf, and had a great view with the mountains and Poolbeg in the background plus the added benefit of being able to see the aircraft heading to and then in the southern hold before their approach. The surprise extra bonus was the Van's loitering in the area, the Strikemaster and then Hunter and Sabre pair directly overhead heading east before turning back up the river and finally seeing the A380 do its wing wiggle as it climbed out over the south City following its final pass.
