Long time contributor to Flying In Ireland, Guy Warner and the late Ernie Cromie, have recently penned a new book called Nutts Corner: In War and Peace. The book was released in December and is the first book to reveal the full story of Nutts Corner Airfield.
The airfield was conceived and built during the Second World War, constructed for military use before evolving into a new civil airport for Northern Ireland in December 1946. The book shares the history of the airfield, involving the RAF, RN and USAAF and many early, long-gone airlines such as BEA, Silver City and BKS. Fully illustrated, it covers the wide range of aircraft and incidents seen over the years, through military and civil use, and the important impact on local people.
This is the fascinating story of the vital and diverse roles played by Nutts Corner during and after the war, opening up Northern Ireland’s economy and laying the foundations for later expansion, and is this week’s Pilot.ie Product of the week with 15% off until March 31st.
