It’s such a pity that the Irish Air Corps museum has no real standing as a national museum and appears to enjoy no support outside the Air Corps itself. The collection can’t be accommodated in the present hangar and some aircraft are leaving on loan. There needs to be an officially supported plan to locate the museum in a dedicated facility and to ensure that, as with every other European air arm, there is a proper museum, open to the public, recording and preserving the organisation’s history.
Kudos to you for all your efforts to preserve our aviation heritage.
Excellent video by Officer Whelan; well done
Great initiative. Well done to all concerned. Looking forward to a visit some day.
Great video and a great story to tell.

Love the SF 260. No Seafire items survived? There were Hurricanes?
Yes Mk I and Mk II
Where is this?

Are they taking the piss?
