The C-40B departed to Shannon this morning while the C-21A left to carry out two flypasts at the Bray Airshow before heading on east to it's base in Germany.  The Patrouille Suisse were the star attraction at the Bray Airshow and they didn't disappoint - especially when they linked up in formation with an Aer Lingus A319.
