Drive '<img'>???

As in driving to Roslare, taking the ferry to Cherbourg and driving to holland??  That would nearly take you a whole day.
Hope you make it oneway or another though.

I currently live in Germany.

I wouldn't fancy a drive from Ireland just for a weekend.

Guys,

here are some of the + 600 pictures I took at Volkel airshow last weekend.

Hope you like them and maybe it's a reason to come out next year.

Enjoy,

600 pictures at the whole air show...... I'd take that in an hour, 2 hours at a push!

Nice pics by the way, so pissed off I had to cancel at the last minute. Bloody unions and strikes 'banghead'

Can't believe I missed a flame out / near ejection....

True Frank,

I saw the birdstrike happening and realy thought the pilot would eject.

I was talking to him later on the day and it crossed his mind 3 times to "pull the handle".

Fair play to him to bring the bring the F-16 AM in anyhow.
