Was there a foreign Super King Air in Bal today, or is the Air Corps one sporting yet a new scheme?

Dark coloured underside, extremely low (Air Corps low) over north Naas today and could well have been on approach

I am a bit surprised that no one has commented on this posting.
The Army do not operate Gazelles, in fact they do not operate any type of aircraft. The Air Corps did use Gazelles, but since gone out of use.

This is the Air Corps section of the Message board. The Army is the larger of the components of the Defence Forces. If you mean another army it should be stated  'stir_the_pot'

No RMR, I know it was a British army Gazelle. My point is, this is a soverign nation, the only Army in this nation is the Army which is part of The Defence Forces. Fouga I do believe that you are a member of the RDF. When you refer to the army which army are you referring to? When a foreign aircraft visits how is it referred to, think about it or is it a mindset?
Will I leave the room now (promise to put off the lights) 'stir_the_pot'

Sidestepping the issues Fouga, is this a mindset?
