Wha.......
??
Sorry Tony, trying some humour.
On a serious note though......what's the point in having the usual trot out of the 'jets' debate when we have them on a regular basis at the don with the added bonus that we don't have to pay for them (yeah yeah yeah I know the whole debate about air defence, hijacks etc).
From the point of view of a simple enthusiast it's nice to see jets again. Miss the sight of the fougas! This from someone who regularly has to swerve to avoid the median on the A55 going past RAF Valley scanning the skies for activity. Favourite moment was being buzzed by a Hawk flying low level through a vally in Snowdonia whilst I was on the way to watch Munster win the HC in Cardiff!
My office wasn't always facing the Don so maybe it was always this way but there does seem to be a hell of a lot more visits by our French cousins these days. Been this way for about a year now, hence the new base name!! Last summer it almost seemed a weekly event.
Anyway apologies again for the cryptic sense of humour! Here's to seeing jets in Irish skies for many more years to come.
