FlyingInIreland

Just looking at a few sites listing aircraft for the Belgian Defence Days. One or two of them seem to be out of date and list the Merlin in the flying display, but the official site doesn't list it. Seems Portrush may have lost the PC-7s to them but gained their Merlin

Well just got word back that there has been a swap but no reason given (to me).

Haven't heard why. I've fired of an email to one of the organisers. Hopefully get something back

Hi Michael,
sorry about that. After I posted it I was told that it hadn't been publicly released so I removed it. Sorry I should have mentioned that here.

Next after that is the need for access to strategic airlift capacity to support its international peacekeeping activities

Unfortunately it'll not be C-17s and KC-10s

Unlucky squigs.
Can you re-apply next year or is that it?

I attended the show and tbh never even thought of the dangers

Hi Heliops
sorry but that wasn't me. Couldn't talk to anyone - trying to keep my eye of 3 kids as well as the display aircraft

Just received the latest press release on the MACH1 airshow saga. You can read it here

Merlin has just been added to the display list (both days)

Thanks for the comments. Looking forward to the Portrush show in September now It's a pity there's so few airshows in Ireland
