I know it is a case of the same ol' story - heard one today that Cork got pretty close to hosting a visit by one of the BA A318s yesterday when the minima or LVPs were not quite right at snn.
Ah, well, we were nearly there again!
Thirty years later and still feeling sore over a nearly visit of a Catalina ach sin sceal eile!
Bond Helicopters have new equipment at Cork now in the shape of a Eurcopter EC-135. There was a discussion about the likelihood of this on the Rotary Forum in recent months.
Guess it is a pretty okay Cork Christmas present in the circumstances and sooner or later one of those A318s will also make an appearance.
That is the one thing about Cork - there is always hope!
