In the mid 1960's, myself and Maurice Cronin flew Condor G-ARVZ, on holiday from Redhill to Eire.
We called at Weston, Coonagh, Shannon, Killarney Racecourse, and Cork.
This was the first 'overseas' touring trip for a Rollason Condor, and my personal aviation 'first'.
Great fun flying along with the radio on your lap, changing crystals!! (6 channels) and on instructions from a Shannon tower controller, calling Cork on 121.5, as we hadn't the correct crystal for their frequency. ( Cork controller was NOT very impressed)
