Galway / Re: Miltary Jet Crash-landing near Dunmore in 1960s?
« on: Friday 17 November 17 15:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I came across a photo of this plane at work. The picture isn't great quality, I'm working on getting a better copy off the negative but I'm waiting on some equipment to make that happen.
There's a new twist to the story of this plane. If I'm not mistaken the plane on display in Ecuador that Gerry linked to is the very same plane that crashed in Dunmore. As you can see in the picture I've posted the registration number is the same, the 5 is half covered by the tarpaulin and the number at on the tail fin is hard to make out but they are the same.
