Irish Air Corps / Insensitive!

« on: August 29, 2006, 09:47:18 pm »

Hi All
My son was looking on Ebay and when he typed in "Irish Air Corps" an item came up selling Air Corps half wing patches
with the one illustrated bearing the name "I. DOWNEY.
Am I being oversensitive  by being upset by this?
I just think its a bit too close to Ians tragic death to see his name up for sale on ebay!
Maybe the seller,to give him the benefit of the doubt,does not know this,but maybe he should have checked before putting anybodys name on the internet.
Its still hard to believe he is gone and ebay is not the way I wish to be reminded of a good friend and colleague.
