Although flying across the Irish Sea (with survival suit, raft, beacon, and Flipper's mobile number) is on my flying "to do" list, in the short term I might settle for RyanAir. Once safely returned to my ancestral homeland, is there anywhere north or south of the border (sorry, nearly said "imperialist prison-line of the captive counties") where I can I rent a taildragger (even better if aerobatic)? Any tips from DP or any of the other Irish ppruners gratefully received, and eventually repaid in a pint of plain.
