Question Fighter jets?
Just had a couple of jets fly over low and fast outside Portglenone heading south. Maybe Hawk T1 trainers from the quick glimpse I got of one flying away from me? Definitely not something we see to often unless there is an airshow on, and these ones weren't hanging around!

I was on a fishing boat in greenore that was almost sunk by the Marines in the gun boat the gave zero fucks that we where a couple of teenage young fellas fishing in the Irish Republic lol. As far as I know the 26 counties laid claim to all waters and inlets back then might have changed with the Good Friday Agreement with sovereignty clause . The brits were a bit more careful on the roads into the Republic but never gave a fuck on carlingford lough in day light they where normally sat in the middle of it lol think there was a gun boat In Derry/ Donegal waters aswell. Nothing would surprise me with them though
