Hi Al,

Give them a call on the general phone number 071-9841488 (Irish Army)
or 071-9841163 (Irish Air Corps S&R). But as the owner is the
Department of Defence, I think I can guess what the answer will be.

Yep fine a Fly-In on set date and destination is fine. Why a committee?, Central Ireland=Abbeyshrule, I am sure they be glad of the business Date = July/Aug Weekend hopefully a sunny day The plan= Arrive by lunch leave by dinner, chat/meet each other/drool over aircraft and hopefully develope furth...

I believe the aircraft was G-BMJT Beech 76, one person (male)
removed with 50% burns. The fuselage of the aircraft was burnt out.

EIAB, would seem to be the best venue, as I suggested previously. Anyone have any contact with the operators?. I'm sure they would oblidge. I would also suggest mid/late Aug. As for clubs, why. Just post a notice stating where and when. Any one who turns up, does so at their own risk. Bloody insuran...

Thought this was just an unofficial get together. Sounds like you guys want to turn it into a BIG AIRSHOW or something. A group of people with similer interest's and a few aircraft meeting at the same place, that's what I was thinking about. Otherwise it will all get out of hand. Regards, Hugo.

It was some of the approach lights on 21. They were repaired within 12 hours. Unfortunately this is the third such incident. About 4 or 5 years ago, 20 or so runway landing lights were destroyed and again were repaired very quickly, but shortly after a very determined effort was made when almost hal...

Hi J, I am presently trying to build a database of all sites in Ireland connected to aviation, past and present. I have'nt yet tried to count how many strips there are, but I believe there are at least 200 active, north and south. Mostly microlight strips. Almost every day I find new active strips. ...

'BFP You wrote: EIAB is the best bet........ or else Birr or Killkenny all fairly central. Birr-Kilkenny fairly central????????? Not according to my map and certainly not from Donegal. And Flyer1 Dublin-Galway is half the distance of Donegal to EIAB. Come on guys, stop thinking about your own traval...

I would be interested in a get together. I suppose Carrickfin is
out of the question. Probably Abbeyshrule is the most central
location for all those living in Ireland. For the members living
outside the country, it would'nt make a lot of difference where
we meet.

Hi Shay, You asked the following; >Hugoj_air do you have a private airstrip ? No Shey, I don’t have a strip, nor a direct connection with any strip owner. I know it looks a bit daft, going on and on about not putting details of private strips on the forum. I lived in England for 16 years and w...

Hi Mark, I give up. I’m sure over the last few months you’ve seen my requests not to publish details of private strips on the forum. Well no more, because I know I’m fighting a losing battle. If you cant beat them, then join them!!!. Below are details that were placed on the forum ...

Many OLD airfields and airstrips in England had their activities severely curtailed or were even closed by down all together by local councils when some NEW residients complained, so longevity does'nt always count. Dont think that age will win over constsiuients, when votes are at stake. And dont th...
