This year the annual Valley Aviation Society charity photocall coincided with the 19 Sqn Families Day and the visiting aircraft were lined up on the taxiway alongside Runway 14-32. Departures were staggered throughout the afternoon – this PC-9 (call-sign IRL 26) is seen leaving Runway 19 on its way back across the Irish Sea. It is one of eight acquired by the Corps in 2004 (the first Air Corps type to have ejection seats since the Vampire). (400D, Sigma 80-400 & fluid-head tripod)
