Irish Air Corps / ex-IAC Spitfire flies again!

FiannaFail - yes, Derry has changed a lot hasn't it! I last visited in 2003, after about ten years away, and it was friendlier, cleaner, more modern - a big change. The biggest change for me though was the lack of squaddies roaming the streets and no more huge ugly green encampments everywhere. Crossing the border and finding no checkpoint on the Bridgend road was an eye opener too (mind you, did they ever put it back after it got blown up?).

Really great to see life becoming more normal!

Cracking photo - brings back lots of memories, spent many a happy hour on that beach as a kid!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Guinness - it's Duxford-based; no idea about airshow appearances. As a 'new' item it may well be on the circuit this year.

FiannaFail - no connection with IAC, I'm afraid. I'm originally from Derry but live in the UK and have done so for years. Been interested in aviation as long as I can remember (product of a childhood in Gib watching RAF Buccaneers beating up the airport), and been taking photos for about 12 years.
