Thanks Sean, I found out that the Fouga was at the Museum ready to be used for presentation and a speech - one of the invitees was the author of the book you mention. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend as I am away on a family vacation. It would have been great to be there. It's a shame that in Ireland there's not more celebration of the flying heritage as I think there's some quite interesting history there for such a small country.

cheers,
Geoff Grice
