Great selection of images from an interesting event!

Nice shots there, it's good to see some shots from over the Irish Sea

I'd be lovely to see some of these Irish registered aircraft around some fly-ins in England this year (well there's always hoping!)

Cheers,

Thanks for the kind remarks guys. Most of these fly-ins are at airfields with grass strips, so the aircraft that attend usually consist of microlights and home-builds with the odd gem thrown in. Flying them over long stretches of water probably would be too much of a challenge. Although saying that, last year a group from Scotland flew microlights to Newtownards, where the crossing over the Irish Sea is about 11 miles. Still a brave thing to do.
