Also in September's Irish Air Letter, there was a short paragraph saying that Ireland was borrowing smoke pods from the RNLAF, from the PC-7, for use in cermonies at the Ryder Cup. Any one know anything more?

I don't think so as I didn't see anything from the 6.1 or 9 o'clock news clips.

Or is it just that it's OK for people on this board to complain about our non-existent air defence, but not for "outsiders" to make comments along those lines? '<img'>
