im sure a lot of old Fighter Sqdn crew -(and me aswell!!) would be happy to give time and whatever it takes to to get a fouga airbourn again. also there was one in Toughers in nass/newbridge, I dont know what the final outcome was but he was trying to get it in the air some years ago.

Hows it going RPY
pity I missed the session -down to some classic planning on my part!!-Mick dropped in before going home to OZ and got the full sixpenny tour of LTAI. the photos of the night look great-maybe some can make it to this site -I'm sure some of the punters would like a look. '>

hi Williamdj-some great photos there. Steve Power looked his usual 'fat' self and Ulick was looking as flash as ever!!!
thanks for the 'young lad' remark-makes me feel better already!!!
John K as the film said-'build it and they will come' if you want a session you will have to organise it yourself and the bodies will turn up.Failing that we have a reunion every year-come along for a few pints and a natter and I promise you we will not bring the polish!!!  
Johnnie give my regards to Panda and Judge.

Hi Jonnie
I thought you would have a bit of respect for your elders. Dont mind him UK, but be carefull the zimmer frames dont get stuck in the carpets. (and dont forget to get the plastic sheets!)

PS if anyone is in the Dungarvan area on the 14th Oct. us young 50 somethings (37th class) will be having a few lemonades in the Mill House Hotel-drop in and we can all sit around and tell some lies.
