One Ben Twitch story from c.1952 was when an (unnamed , Canadian?) pilot delivered a replacement Shack from St Eval to BallyKelly. Said aircraft appeared through the mist,flying around Ben Twitch on it's ear hole before rolling out on to the main.
Subsequent Interview "endangering aircraft and crew etc etc ." was cut short by plaintiff pointing out that there was no Crew. Pilot apparently wandered back doing flight doing Eng panel work etc. himself whilst in transit. ( Dad was on 42 Sqn at the time, I was a Quarters' rat) .
