RFA Largs Bay is a monster thing, very impresssive.  I had a walk around her at last years "Meet Your Navy" event in Portsmouth.  The Bridge is 100 feet from the water level.  Should be well worth seeing.  To give those that haven''t seen here have a look at these.



Inside





The first one is of the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious, no small ship herself





Sorry frank if these are a little off topic.

You're alright Vulcan, I can see aircraft, a hanger and heli decks in your shots...

Wow, brilliant line up, looking forward to seeing the vampire flying.Is the RFA Largs Bay going to be carrying out the mock assault both days?

Now added to the display line up for Saturday at 2.30 is the Airbus A380......     Post number 124.....    http://www.niaviation.co.uk/uk-ireland-airshows-and-events/portrush-airshow-2009/100/

I'm there!

[joey1]

May be the only chance to see the A380 on these shores i
It's hoped (Weather permitting) to put on a good display, also 2 Typhoons for Sat are also rumored to take part in what looks like to be a cracking line up

[pilatus]

Im there, aslong as i make the train in time!I've got my usual rock on the edge of the cliffs picked out, and if the A380 does the circuit im hoping it should come right over my head!Fingers crossed!I'll try to get a few pics up hopefully tomorrow night or sunday morning!
