We had a suspected Russian sub snag a fishing trawler a couple of days ago off Ardglass and today (very overcast no visual) very loud aircraft overhead.

Don't get anything like this apart from the odd airshow. Skies starting to clear now and I can hear aircraft in the distance.

What aircraft I'm I likely to see. Definitely military aircraft.

There are exercises (NATO) off Scotland so aircraft might be passing over N.I.

Jet aircraft noise continued for some time after my last post, however it was well into the distance.

I was hoping to see something interesting.

We also had this last week. Very unusual for this neck of the woods.

Well it was Tornados on a training mission which apparently doubled up as a promotion for the air show coming up next September?????

There was me thinking we had gone to Defcon3 or something.
