    LOL tbh I thought my first time on a plane was 1978 going to Oxford at nearly 4 but mam said I was about 5 monthS old when she flew to lourdes with me in 1974. I suppose I was a miracle baby as I overcame some early problems as a youngster.
    UP THE DUBS!!!

            At the time I think they had 3 spitfires and 2 Vampires
            I would have liked to have gone in A Vampire

            Good story about Baldonnel
            Me Da and the neighbour (RIP) were great gargle mates,meaning the weather was always hot, and not much cash flow in dem days.
            So, I remember me going for a trip to Baldonnel in the neighbours Ford Prefect,Da in tow, at night,both of them fairly pissed.
            Got out of the car near the fence.neighbour gave me a rope,under the fence Ye go little Tommie,an tie the end of the rope to dat block under the plane,undo the other rope and get back here quick.
            Be jasus dat block got back under the fence before me,found out later it was a huge block of Lead to hold a plane down.
            Next morning Sat. Off the pair of thieves go to McGoverns scrap store round the corner from us, don't know what they got but I got a Shilling,instant millionaire.
            Both of them spent the night in Guinans pub in Lower Mt Pleasant Ave.
            Bet it happened before??

                    Trevor died young I think he was only in his late fifties or early sixties,also his brother Ken died they had a big falling out over money.The yard is still there run by the sister Sandra. I know two people that come from around that area,one I play golf with his name is Tom Mc Cabe he was the chief of the fire brigade.The other is Peter Pringle,he done a lot of time in prison for something he didn’t do but he was found not guilty after years.
