    Who's funding it?

    So? Who is?

    No aircraft that may fit into the "micro-light" class are permitted to over-fly urban areas. Some of those are pretty much the same UL weight as a GA civilian tin-can. There are restrictions on single engined aircraft which vary. The Irish CAA site should have this in detail, or on request.

    Hmmm, keeping Brussels off the pitch. That sounds very anti-EU, perhaps even anti-Europe to me. I wonder then how David knew of the plane in advance, as Libertas clearly had nothing to do with sending such a Eurosceptic message.

    Is this the first campaign where either side have taken to the sky to do battle?
    Perhaps the two planes will fire at each other - I presume the Libertas plane is one of Ulick's refueling planes for B-52s?
    Lol what a low blow

    Let's hope Brian Cowen is underneath this porcine fly-over.
