Tall Ships race - Update
« on: July 04, 2005, 04:33:38 pm »
This is the link to a Web-cam showing Waterford, it re-freshs every 10 seconds or so. The opening takes place at 3:00 pm on Wednesday and this will include a flypast by the Air Corps. You may be lucky and catch it on the webcam. I will be there and hope to take some pics.

There was a fly-past of 4 PC9's at 4:00pm. I didn't take any pics as I arrived at Waterford Airport and was delayed by the traffic diversions getting into the City. I saw the flypast but didn't have time to get my camera. It was OK, but only the one run up the river and then they were gone.

What about the flyover of the National Day of Commemoration ceremonies in the RHK Dublin. None of the usual pundits forecast that, yet I have heard that they were practising over the Kilmainham area on Thursday last ...

^^^ the DoD got a huge number of calls regarding the practice runs done in preparation for the flypast on Sunday from people believing that they were responding to a terrorist attack. It was reported in last Fridays Times or Indo cant remember which.

Edit: The flypast on Sunday did go ahead.
