Guys,

things are like this :
Dirk hás aproval by some high ranking officers in the IAC and they'll have a meeting tomorrow ( aug. 8 / 2006 ).

The items we'll start with will be a poloshirt, baseballcap, keyrings, pens and rulers.

This is to start off with.

More items ( e.g. mugs etc.) will follow later.

And FiSé... ofcourse we are in close contact with the IAC to see want's possible, legal etc.

Items will be ordered in The Netherlands as the prices here are cheaper.

Patches will stay under IAC supervision and we will not produce them.!!!!
We wil sell them but have nothing to say about layout etc.

Dirk will visit the Don ASAP to talk to the people involved.

If any news apears I'll post it here.

We hope to have the first line up and running before X-mas time.

What about golf-items?
Would they be wanted ?

Fouga.................Down !!!

no, no, no, that period is ( unfortunatelly ) behind me and I start up with the IAC now ( together with Dirk, ofcourse)

This is a great oppertunity for "the new generation" to get involved.

Now something else....Why is everybody asking for "Fouga goodies" ??
I know it's the only jet "fighter" the IAC  ever had but is it such an important part in Irish military history ?

If it is I would deffinatelly consider of gettin' some items from that odd plane.

Hope to hear.

Sorry there Fouga.

Personaly I prefer the Vampire over the Fouga.

Our idea is to go for the "modernday " air corps planes and helicopters.
Maybe in the near future we'll get to the "old stuff"

Fair point Guinness.

                                                                                               Perhaps a nice shot/print of an armed PC-9 would look well on mugs, tee-shirts, etc ?

Silver and others,

regarding the poloshirts, here's my idea.

Dark blue poloshirts with IAC Phoenix logo embroied in silvergrey
It IS possible to get a/c and helicopters as a logo on the left breast but to start off we would go for the IAC crest.

This polo would cost aprox. € 18,--.
When someone would like his/her name embroied on the right sleeve this will cost an extra € 5,--.

When someone wants e.g. a Fouga on the left breast..... polo's go by the 20.( no matter what sizes)
We will have to make the design digital for the company wich embroi them.
Ofcourse this'll cost money as well.
That's the reason we'll start off with a small assortment

In my opinion this is a fair deal but I was wondering what your idea is on this  ?

Also , cool pens are already found and will be sold for aprox. € 1,50.

For a reason I don't understand the IAC is looking for rulers.
They will be made too.

Again, we will start with the IAC Phoenix crest as thé logo.

If someone has another idea I would be glad to hear it.

Regards,

Guinness ':cool:'

Guinness, if you check the messages here you'll see that only two individuals have mentioned the Fouga, so I would not regard that as a good indicator of demand, if I were you.  My own preferred type in terms of its true significance would be the Alouette III, which has been in service for over 40 years and was also the first helicopter type for the Air Corps.

Guinness,

I presume that the Phoenix logo will be a small one ?
(A large logo would look bad)
......If it's a small logo you can take my order now !  'pilot_smiley'

I'd say the IAC want rulers so as to appeal to school kids.

Where will these items be sold from ?
Direct from the IAC, or via the net (Holland?) ?

Silver,

items will be sold from the net and and events e.g. carreerdays, Salthill airshow and the shows where the IAC apears.

To start off items will be sold via the net but more details will follow on this.

The Phoenix will be small on the left breast ( 5 - 7 cm. ).

Let's hear it !!
