Thanks Fouga, I went into Easons in Galway a number of times only to be told they never heard of the book. Now I know what to do. Cheers

This book can be bought soft backed (as far as I know) in the NCO'S Mess every weekday morning for €15 and the hard backed for €20.

So if you knew anybody working here.......

FF don't try to bluff this one!

I asked in an Easons in Dublin, and the info person had never heard of the Irish Air Corps '>
So I got mine from Bal' '> [friends in low places, nuttin like it]

Finaly got my copy today !!!!
Thanx SANTA !!!!!!!!! ( and my sis who brought is over from Ireland for me.)

It's a great book alright.

Would be nice if it has a chapter about the special planes that visited Ireland over the years bus maybe this is a book worth alright.

Would have thought FF could just pop in to Kevin Byrne at the Don and get a copy.

Strange for a fella in the Air Corps needing ISBN numbers. '>

[IAS]

Cheers, Guinness (always wanted to say that), but seriously thanks, have a look when you get the book, I would have thought they should have put it in the line up, after all they put the TBM(?) "Bremmen 2" at the front opposite the Beech.

I bought a copy of the softback edition in Easons, O'Connell Street, Dublin today - plenty more left - in the Irish Interest section.  

I agree with the previous comments - it looks to be a very comprehensive pictorial history, avoiding the "stock" shots we are more familiar with.  Well done to all concerned.

Yip , its a German Huey alright!! The lads made a return visit to the city of Bremmen a few weeks later in the Beech and were treated to a NOE flip by the Germans in their hueys!!
Seen some of the photo's, lucky so and so's!!!

[P.Doff]

I got my copy in the mess yesterday!! Spent the day re-living old memories with the lads! I was just out of shot in a lot of the later pics but managed to get the back of ugly bonce into one of them!! WOW my claim to fame!!
Im trying to get my hands on a "Real" pic of the new lear thats doin the rounds at the moment so I can post it on the site, if not , it'll be here between the 17th and the 19th !!!

[Silver]

Finally got my copy !
It's an excellent publication. Well done to all involved !

I particularly like the shot of the six Marchetti's over Blessington Lake.

Nice pic of Fouga 219 in 'attack mode' on page 84 !!!

Well done folks !

It's 'amazing' how quickly the new Learjet was organised in comparison to other AC aircraft requirements   '>

I've looked at the book in my local shop - it looks excellent, will definetly be getting a copy.

Hmmm........softback or hardback....... ?

Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is ........ '>

Hey Tucco, you'll soon learn that FF isn't all she's portrayed  herself to be! A bit of a Walter Mitty!

Will there be any extra costs involved when send out to The Netherlands???
