It was something of a turbulent weekend for the Bray Air Display – with a bit of hassle over a ‘late’ start yesterday, and a gorse fire demanding much of the attention during the early part of today.
But once the planes starting flying overhead, that was all quickly forgotten, and some 90,000 spectators were treated to an absolute feast over the course of the weekend.
Here’s a selection of the best tweets, pics and videos that show just how incredible the spectacle turned out to be – and why you’d be absolutely mad to miss it next year.
