Ballykinlar shooting range
In the Merse we have low flying aircraft-in Norn Iron, County Down , Dundrum Bay we enjoy the rattle of small arms fire-sometimes every day, all day. Across the entrance to the Bay lies Ballykinlar camp (where Huttonian was stationed some years back en route to Suez) This is usually the home of a British Infantry regiment from across the water and the training area and shooting range are in constant use. If you enlarge the image you can see the red flag flying-not a political statement but an indication that firing is in progress. You are supposed not to go past the notice (see post immediately below) when the flag is up-but I have never seen it down so I suspect not many people take much notice
