Shameless Promotion / Magazine Back Issues

« on: April 14, 2015, 11:07:44 pm »

Over the last 25 years or more I've accumulated a large collection of Air Forces Monthly, Air International, Combat Aircraft, Airliners, Airplane, Take-Off, Aircraft Illustrated, Flypast, Flyer, Pilot, Air Power International etc. etc.

There are too many to list individually. About 4 full space saver boxes worth, all absolutely mint condition as they were in the shops.

Looking to give them to a good home. Too good to recycle. Ideally would sell as a job lot but could break down to individual magazine types. The more magazines taken the less per it will cost.

If anyones interested let me know. Located Dublin.

Irish Air Corps / Re: Air Corps: Value for Money?

« on: February 29, 2012, 12:01:02 am »

Corkspotter,

NVG's are not required when landing at prepared sites such as hospitals and airports. Scottish Air Ambulance EC135's operated by Bond Air Services from Glasgow Heliport and Inverness Airport are single pilot with no NVG 24/7 and carry out daylight only HEMS and inter-hospital transfers after dark.

And in Ireland there is a fleet of S61N's that operate at night and a newly arrived S92A.

Value for money is one thing but taxpayers funds are being used for IAC trips abroad with little operational/training value.
