As part of the lead-in to the commemorations for the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic, an RAF P8 Poseidon  performed a flyover at 1,000 feet over Ramsey.

Crowds gathered on the Queen’s Pier to watch the flyover this afternoon, which had been organised through some of Manx Radio’s contacts at the RAF.
