A bit of a flashback for you. Who remembers Kevin Barry in his Heyday? 57 years ago today at the Lee Fields. Kevin, Neil O'Brien, with (I think) Tom Cross's fingers and a combat model and Kevin with a rat racer.
I was out this morning with my 2m Electric Mayfly sailplane. I still get out almost on a weekly basis, even in winter at 80 years of age.
Miss my yearly Irish visits because of Covid, but hope to make it in 2022.

Nice photos John, I remember Johnny Carroll from when I first joined MACI back about 50 years ago. If I remember correctly he was probably our chief scale judge and judged at a number of international F3C scale events. I believe that he died while out flying gliders at Lacken.
In the photo of Kevin Barry do you recall if he was been given a countdown or was he shown the fingers to tell him to F*** off?

I remember a very young you and your father at the Curragh in the mid 60's before I came to Canada. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures of you or him. Happy New Year. It is amazing how many "lifers" are still flying.
