I’m no expert, in fact I know feck all, about airplanes, but does the state own those two in the photos?
don’t know, but you should call them ‘aircraft’, unless you’re twelve.
So that’s what they’re called …
They are Air Corps Aircraft so are the property of the state.
Do they make the “neeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooowwwwwww” sound when they fly low over head?
I like the neeeeeeoooooowwwwwww sound.
I also like the neeeeooooowwwww dut-dut-dut-dut-dut sound when they shoot.
Yes, two of the twin engine Casa CN235 and four (I think) single engined Pilatus PC12s.
Thank you SopwithSnipe.
My only knowledge of airplanes/aircraft is from reading my Biggles Collection.
Mine is from airfix and movies :)
Ah yes, and pals Algy and Ginger. Ginger was understandable but Algy was prob short for Zlgernin
sorry, Algy was prob short for Algernon , a name we’d be unlikely to be familiar with back then
Waaaaaay too positive a post for Broadsheet.

A little bit of trumpet blowing for the easily impressed.

Why tho’

why are the Irish Air Core flying Covid Samples to Munich
Are they Irish Samples
Are they doing a nixer
Is there some other strange about the samples
Are the HSE subbing out the samples to some crowd in Germany
Anyone?

Agreement would increase existing daily capacity of 15,000 by 2,000”
