Hi Mark,

My local newsagent tells me that he cannot get the magazine here
in north Donegal. WNS are his paper suppliers and they don't deal
with Eason's or so they say. Any chance of you starting a subscription
service yet or offering another once off delivery for issue 2.

Regards,
Hugo.

We have all heard of the pony express, well here in dear ould Donegal what we must have is donkey express, because I've just got my hands on the first issue of Flying in Ireland. Thank's Mark. It most certainly was worth the wait. It's an excellent first attempt. You have obviously taken note of the...

Hi historical-avi-irl.i8.com Below is a list of aviation magazines and dates avilable nationwide in Ireland from 1979 to 1988. Aero Ireland: 18 issues from Feb 1979 until Nov 1982, when it changed titles to Aero & Microlight Flyer: 2 issues Mar 1983 and Apr 1983 then ceased production to reappear as...

Hi historical-avi-irl.i8.com, "You have made Irish Aviation history in my opinion by publishing the magazine nationwide monthly, something that no-one did before with an Irish aviation magazine". Slight error in your assumption. In the mid 80's there was a monthly Irish Aviation magazine o...

contact him direct via his e-mail address: tadhg@wingsireland.com to
let him know personally.

Hi Everyone, In particular those of us who received a refund from Tadgh via Wings Ireland. I have a proposal to make. As the man has proved himself to be a very decent business person with the refunds. And while attempting to provide us all with an Irish aviation magazine of excellent quality, he hi...

Hi Everyone, I was away since Tue afternoon, just got back this evening and was very plesently surprised when I opened my post. Taj, you are a gentleman. I have been in business for over 20 years now and this is the very first time that I have come across a refund from a failed enterprise. Just a pi...

Hi Laurence, magazine editor I fully accept all that you said in your posting. I fact I was put straight by an acquaintance of mine who is also a friend of Mark's when he sent me the following: To be fair to Mark he had told me a month or two ago that he and his father were working on this for month...

Hi Mark, First I must congratulate you and your group on the new Irish aviation magazine,?Flying in Ireland? which I definatly will purchase. But am I the only one who thinks it very odd that ?Wings Ireland? apperantly disappeared without trace and in the very next breath a brand new magazine coveri...

Hi Corsica, I was at the launch of the Ioan book on Mon 29th Nov. It was on sale there at €25.00 for the hardback version. I believe there may be a softback version available soon, which would probably be cheaper. Even at €25, it's worth every cent, as it give's a very indepth history of...

As far as I know, the strip at Cashel / Ballydoyle is no longer used by fixed wing aircraft. This has been the case for at least 10 years now. Helicopters are the only craft using that location. The nearest active strip is, I think Fethard / Coolbawn. 8nm NE of Ballydoyle and 3.5nm N of Fethard. It ...

Frosty, when did you last fly Ryanair. My last flight with them was in Aug and it was nothing like that. We got away on the dot, landed 20 mins ahead of schedule and the same on the return. No hassle or problems at all, as with, I would guess 99% of their flights. The alternative is three or four ti...

Is it right that Ryanair carried 5 million pax in the last year.
That means some of the 3.5m must have traveled twice with
them

Hugo.

You should be aware of any obstacles on finals to the landing areas and on take-off, trees, buildings and worst of all WIRES. Also large trees or buildings close to the landing area on either side of the strip can produce very turbulent air close to the touchdown points. Enough to flip a microlight,...
