There were also a number of kite balloon stations too.

The electricity station was for the production of hydrogen. Hugo is correct. It is the remains of an airship sub-station. The other locations or proposed locations being Ballyliffin in Donegal, Larne, Lough Neagh, Killarney, Malahide Castle and Johnstown Castle in Wexford. This one Killeagh or somet...

Another hint,

There were six other locations in Ireland including NI that were sited or built for the same purpose as this one. They were located or sited (but never built) in Wexford, Dublin, Kerry and another county as well as Counties Antrim and Down. That should speed things up a bit.

Not anywhere near Dublin. The building you are looking at in the photo is thought to have been for producing electricity at the site.

This photo is of an aerodrome that was only partially completed. Where is it and what aircraft used it?

Kilkenny fly-in is set pretty much in the main for the 23rd of May. The fly-in is geared to be an all airfield affair and it may be promoted as Conor Airpark fly-in or Kilkenny Airfield fly-in. The field has had sand put down large tine-sized holes and drainage in the form of gravel is also expected...

A lot of Short flying boats had cockpit windows a little like that. Although seems a little late for the type in 1977.

Just an extra point on the aerial mapping available through that osi link Hum put up (type OSI emaps into Google works too). The search feature allows you to enter your address and it will bring you to your house. However lets say (as we are pilots) you were looking up a lat/long instead. The search...

Well DGC must be Dublin Gliding Club. Something about it suggests Baldonnel to me. Further research suggests perhaps it is the V8 From DGC's website: The tow car may have had a secret life when not watched over by the DGC, being taken for the occasional fast joyride up and down the runway at Baldonn...

Oh and over to you xacto.

Exacto xacto, The other two Irish people to break FAI world aviation records since they began were Pauline Baker (covered in FII magazine) in ballooning and Gerard Connelly who is the only three-axis pilot from Ireland to hold a record in fact he has four (one is a current world record also). Techni...

Another hint: Only two other people in Ireland (AFAIK, not sure about NI) can claim to have achieved something in aviation similar to this woman. The most recent addition to this list was in 2007 and was mentioned in Flying in Ireland.

Hi Hugo, Just thought as Ballingeary is not that far from Macroom he may have some local knowledge as to where the field was in Macroom. Guess though tony kearns was pming you details anyway. For the photo I have posted you could say her aircraft engine was 'thermal'. For the osi link switching betw...

Ok,

This one is a little tricky. Who is this modern-day Irish entrepreneur and what part did she play twenty years ago this July in the history of aviation?
