belfast airport usage - curious

national | miscellaneous | 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.
