105 Sqn (photographic) is a very busy unit, having to look after the photographimc needs of the entire Defence Forces. As well as their 'Bread and butter' role of Maritime Patrols and Fisheries Protection they also provide photographers for aerial recconaissance for the Army, ceremonial events, and many other roles down to the basic passport photos of every member of the Defence Forces!!!
The year passes  very quickly and with the very busy schedules of all squadrons it is difficult to find time to shoot new images that the public have not seen before. There is no point in publishing images that have been used over and over again. The collation of images and the layout of a calendar is a lot more difficult than the end user thinks and therefore if its going to take up a lot of man hours so unfortunately the calendar had to take a back seat this year.  :'(

Thats understandable alright...the unit being so busy and all.

I often think that an 'Air Corps Annual' (like the RAF annual) would be a nice way of reviewing the year gone by (and I'm sure if such an annual was released around christmas time it would sell even better).


IMHO, I think the 'Defence Force Review' is a bit of a 'lost opportunity' each year for the DF's...it could be made so much more appealing (including to the general public) if it didnt stick it's staid 'high-brow' theory side of things. If it were expanded into an A4-sized annual (along the lines of the RAF annual) it could be a stand-alone sale item - as opposed to a freebie with An Cosantoir.

My 2c.
