Location; Beautiful seaside town of Newcastle Co Down at the foot of Slieve Donard largest mountain of the Mournes.

Event:Saturday the 7th is the main date with Dispalys by the world famous Red Arrows, the Irish Air Corps, Sea Rescue displays by helicopters from the MCA and Irish rescue services.

This is to celebrate the centenary of the first manned flight in Ireland by renowned engineer and inventor Harry Ferguson.

Ferguson is best know for his engineering achievements involving agricultural machinery but his lesser known achievements relate to aviation.

The evening tops off with a free concert on the promenade by veteran of opera and West End productions, Peter Corry and band.

Sorry the system does not allow me to post a link as a new user, so please Google "Ferguson Festival Of Flight" for more details from the Discover Northern Ireland or Down District Council websites.
