I flew for the largest airline in Canada, I belive we had three monocular pilots, all made left seat, Mick Manock {WW1 high scoring scout pilot }was blind in one eye, I know of at least five monocular pilots in the RCAF/RAF, and Ive been flying since 1952 with only half a brain, so why is it that Ireland wont give you a licence? Didnt Wiley post land in Ireland on his around the world flight wearing his trade mark eye patch? Seems Ireland is a bit behind the times on this!
