PHOTOS: Thousands turn out to watch the Bray Air Display in Co Wicklow

The second day of the event is taking place in Co Wicklow.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE turned out to attend the Bray Air Display this weekend. 

The second day of the popular annual event, which is supported by the Irish Aviation Authority, is taking place in Co Wicklow.

The Irish Air Corps and the Irish Defence Forces are among those taking part. 

Ireland’s Eddie Goggins and Dave Bruton, and the UK’s Richard Goodwin were among those who added a dare-devil spin on today’s performances. 

A Search and Rescue demonstration highlighted the lifesaving work of the service.

“The weather certainly didn’t let us down and was the perfect backdrop to another spectacular aerobatics display,” Bray Air Display director Sé Pardy said.

“Pilots and aerobatic teams love performing in Bray thanks to the carnival atmosphere and spectacular backdrop of sand, sea and Bray Head. Thanks to everyone who came to Bray to support the event and cheer on the participants,” he said. 

Here are some shots of the action over the past two days:

    Leo Varadker had an opinion he didn’t express? Never thought I’d see the day! (And eagerly await replies relating pots and kettles)

    Varadkar would gut any one of you with a blunt butter knife if you were stupid enough to stand between him and the cozy, extremely wealthy retirement he is lining up for himself.

    - Do you know what Mary Harney the morally vacuous blimp that used to sit in the Health Ministers chair did today while you were all at work and your kids were all in Creche?

    She sat there pressing F5 on her internet banking page watching the numbers increase and laughing at us and our stupidity…..

    Well considering he is in his 30′s and legislation reforms mean he can’t access his pension until he is 65, that is a bit of an irrelevant point.

    Can’t understand why someone would spend so many years studying to be a doctor, only to go into politics. Seems like a complete waste of money, time and a college place to me.

    Indian father. Three choices scientist, doctor or lawyer. Maybe a lecturer. Few other professions are acceptable to Indian middle class parents.

    But he doesn’t practice, I don’t think he ever has, so he may as well not be.

    He’ll earn more with less effort lying to the voting public than he ever would have as a GP which coincidentally also involves duping the public and earning a ridiculous wage for SFA…

    Truth is GPs mainly take in cash for doing nothing – they then just refer you to nearest A&E department if there’s any real worry or uncertainty involved.

    I’ll assume then you are 32.

    Considering most people don’t actually start their careers until their mid to late 20′s, once training and education are finally done, i think people in their 30′s are fairly young all in all (this may be my own grasping at straws – like Varadkar, I am 35)

    To go near abortion or anything to do with it before a general election would be political suicide. The conservative lines of most parties are being engraved in concrete atm. Its a time to worry for liberal ireland as conservative groups get their spoke in. Francis fitzgerald has all ready been gotten to by the immigrant council.
