It is with great sadness that I inform the forum of the passing of Patrick J Cummins today. Paddy would be known to many of you as an aviation historian based in Waterford. He had a passionate interest in the Irish Air Corps and he penned many articles over the years. I was lucky enough to work with him on an Air Corps book a few years ago and he wrote the definitive book on aircraft crashes in the south east during the second world war. He had a very generous spirit and he will be missed.
Funeral arrangements to be published on WLR.ie in the next day or so.

Paddy was a meticulous researcher and a dedicated historian.He was well known to local historical groups in the south east and shared his vast knowledge in his lectures on the Air Corps and the foreign aircraft wartime crashes..
Difficult to believe as I was talking to him about future projects only ten days ago and as usual enthusiastic.
He will be sadly missed.Sincere condolences to Maura and family.
Rest in peace Paddy.
