news report
Friday April 04, 2003 20:53 by belfast
this afternoon (friday 4 april) a lorry driver went to aldergrove airport (belfast international airport) to deliver goods to a building site. he noticed what he said were two *very* large us planes there. he didn't get close enough to them to see what was happening around them, and i am not sure how he could tell they were us planes. there was a very high level of security at the airport. any reports on aldergrove being used for us military transport purposes to the gulf? i haven't seen any reports about it at all so i don't want to jump to conclusions.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Lets get serious. Bush/Blair obviously assume the resistance to their imperial enterprise is dead in Ireland. Lets show them how wrong they are. But how will Sinn Fein deal with this? Are they part of the solution or part of the problem?
Could the planes be part of an advance party to set up security for Bush's visit ?
Aldergrove is an RAF airbase in any case,so military flights there would be no strange thing.
Usually they use a C141 to ship over his helis/limos. Expect lead if you even look sideways at it.
