Cork, to be sure

Many years ago, with my fres PPL IR went to Cork on business, and very IFR (ish).

Cork Radar, very kindly pointed me to the long narrow thing and we landed safely.

After landing went to say hi, as a few hours to kill before going wack to London.

Found the Radar Room......well actiually the cupboard under the stairs. I later learned that many small airports had radar cupboards, rather than rooms.

Chatted for a while, and the man asked " have you ver been to Cork before"......no never was the reply...Well he said.... "Ignore the new fangled SID I will point you at the cathedral...watch out its rather tall"

Many years later I was back in Cork, for the Air India Incident, and thanked the radar man for the sight seeing trip.....he winked at me and said, shame the weather was so bad...the Blarney Stone is rather grand too.

I think we must have met the same team.
