A very short visit today by 282 PC-12 Spectre of the Irish Air Corps.
I expect that the original intention was for a touch-and-go whilst returning to Dublin from Tours (TUF). However arrival occurred right after a departing easyJet A319 so they were only issued with a landing clearance by ATC to ensure safe wake turbulence separation. The pilot requested a low approach and go-around instead but was told that was also not available. The aircraft duly touched down on Rwy 09 at 17.11, back-tracked whilst getting departure clearance to DUB and then departed one minute later.
