            For god sake man without the red arrows the air show would be pretty sparse
            These groups like the red arrows are world famous and stunning to watch
            Get past your bitterness man we have moved on since the famine

    The Red Arrows? Kinda jaded performance of the Raymond Baxter era. The nine planes have been used since the late 1960’s, the diamond nine being a trademark formation. The other two are support, replacements etc. They’re British tech, so spare parts impossible to come by in the modern world and they break down a lot.

    The Patrouille Acrobatique de France is a much better and edgier team, although colour blind at times as we saw recently.

    But, there’s nothing to beat the Aer Corp’s Irish Silver Swallows though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5DeD-Ph3V0 – French planes again, one was nicknamed Emer the Screamer for some reason…

    Mind you between the cloudy and rainy weather over Bray today, the remnantts of fires on Bray Head, and the gunsmoke from the Bray Boxing Club you’ll be able to see not a whole lot of nuthin’.

    I love the Red Arrows, they do displays all over the world so why shouldn’t they do one in Ireland

      Perhaps it’s part of the deal the Irish government struck with the British that means in the event of a terrorist attack over Irish airspace the RAF will come to the rescue.
      Obviously the Irish Air Corps won’t be able to cope because he could be on a day off visiting his mum.

            let’s hope she passed away before witnessing what a pathetic silly boo boo her son became

    I was out in Gray today and the air show was fantastic. Pity about the weather until 3. But once it clearer the planes started and were fab.
    5/5 For the Red Arrows

    In more temperate language.. every single one of those planes .. and the people who fly them and build them do so with the express intention of murdering fellow humans.. may every last one rest in the place they co-created.. basically.. imagine living in Ramallah with them overhead..

    1. Ollie Cromwell

      Imagine living in Dublin with a couple of Russian bombers overhead and the RAF is the only thing protecting your bottom from some serious damage.

      1. Cú Chulainn

        Except.. no Russians every bombed Dublin.. let’s think about who might have bombed.. indiscriminately Dublin .. oh.. the British.. repeatedly.. and every other place in Ireland they could.. yes.. the British.. hurrah.. now.. watch and weep at what the Americans call blow back.. watch and weep..!!

      Bae Hawks are not used by Israel. The only people the Red Arrows hawks killed were their own crews. They’re not murderers.

      True they are part of the sales drive for Bae arms worldwide, but then so is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
