Congratulations Tim, you don't need me to tell you thats the first hurdle over, but knowing councils they will make every attempt to place a few more in your way. Looking forward to seeing Erinagh Airfield up and running again. All the best for the future. Don't let the so and so's grind you down. R...

A report in, I believe last Friday's Indo stated " The council was pleased to purchase a 'brownfield' site ready for devolopment so close to the City centre" does't sound too promising. Hopefully just speculation on behalf of the reporter.

Absolutely amazing what CAN be achived by the use proper latteral thinking. Something that is very sadly missing in Ireland and Europe in general. LAX is one of the busiest terminal areas in the world and yet they can and do accomadate ALL aviation on a daily and nightly basis. RV BLUE"]Fancy this h...

For me it's a tie between the Tiger Moth and the Spitfire. With two memorable flights in Tigers, I'm still hopeful of a Spit flight one day. Probably have to win big on the lottery first.

Thank's for the update trimflyingclub, Perhaps I should rephrase my original post to state fixed wing aircraft op's . (now someone will post saying that an aircraft was seen landing on........) military helis can and do land anywhere they require for training and operational reasons. I'm not sure, b...

Well said Kitty. Not being a pilot myself I joined as an associatted member because I believed only a large membership would have any impact on aviation policy in Ireland. But that membership has to work as one group and not sit back and expect those apparently at the "top" to do all the running, fe...

Hi Patrick, When the guy came to my home with our aerial I just looked at the photo, liked what I seen and bought it. I didn't ask any questions, but the impression I got was that it was a private venture. I can only imagine that once they got all the sales they could in a particular area the would ...

Hi Patrick, I'm a near neighbour of yours from outside Milford. We have a copy of an aerial photo taken on the 21 Aug 2008 of my wifes home one mile from Carrigart, so more than likely the same aircraft that took your photo. Then on the 16 Sept 2010 an aerial was taken of of our own home but sadly n...

Bob,

According to the Jepperson plate shown on the clip, it's Rodez southern France which is 345nm SW of Luxemburg. The airport is 5nm NW of the city.

You only need to apply for planning permision if you are making permanent structural changes to the field ie-: constructing a hard base or hard surface runway (obviously not necessary in your case) or if you put up a hangar for the sole use of aircraft only. But assuming the field in question is par...

Very sad news indeed. Dont know the guys but I do know we all feel the sorrow of their relitives and friends. May they rest in peace.

Hi Mark, No apology necessary, slightly crossed wires. I fully endorse what you say about all of us showing support for Irish General Aviation through our different groups. Perhaps some work is on going in the background to do just that. It's very badly needed. To unknowlagable me looking on from th...
