Reports on another forum suggest that a RAF C130 was at Baldonnel on Monday - and possibly last Friday?
Can anyone confirm and give more details.

Didnt see a herc there on monday?! There was a USAF herc in Dublin last week, I seen it fly out fairly low over the city with a big stars'n'stripes on its tail. The pumas come down from the north a couple of times a year on excercise (operation templebar!!).

Yeah a RAF C130J was here on Monday and left at about 9:45. It was doing ground support for the Red Arrows at the Salthill Airshow.

There was also a comment that the SF260's were embarrassing.

Sorry lads but that's all we have to work with and all that they will give us at the moment.

Too many years of make do and penny pinching and pound spending in the wrong places.
