Managed to go down and blagg my way alongside the carrier,as its in a private compound(the aul uniform does wonders!!). Ufortunately I couldnt get on as there were both Spanish and Irish VIP's on board. Looks very impressive indeed, pity about were its parked though . Its parked alongside the huge scrapyard on the south side and the road that the crew have to take into town is littered with burned out caravans and cars! Not a good first view of Dublin.
Amazing to see the nose of the Harriers hanging precariously high over the Quay!!
Re the flyover, no there wasnt one but, last evening a pair of very loud fast jets passed over the Don in the murk heading west to east??? We're used to Traffic from Dublin but Im almost certain that this was a pair. My only recogning is that maybe the RAF were doing a recce for Sunday at salthill??
