Great photos Tony. Keep them comming, specially ones from when you were only a lad in short trousers, pre-jet days when things were much more quiet !  :stirthepot:

Tony, I can recall seeing a Belgian Sea King during the summer of 1988 over-flying Galway City. It came in from the west and headed towards Carnmore (now Galway Airport). This was my first time seeing any Sea King. One would think any Sea King over-flying these shores would be RAF or Royal Navy so it is still amazing to me that it was Belgian! It makes sense now, knowing that they were here on a training exercise with the Air Corps, but at the time it lead to a little head-scratching.  :airforce_huh:

Blue Monday.
