Crowds to fly in for festival of aviation

More than 100,000 people are expected to line the quays in Dublin for what promises to be a spectacular celebration of aviation.

Military, vintage and large commercial carriers will be among the 30 aircraft flying as low as 1,100ft (335m) over the River Liffey for FlightFest on Sep 15.

Organisers of the event, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) and Dublin City Council, have also joined forces with two charities to help raise funds on the day.
