0Our Flying Heritage: Irish Aviation History
Venue: National Museum of Ireland: Decorative Arts & History
This August, event organisers at the National Museum of Ireland: Decorative Arts & History are delighted to welcome renowned authors and aviation historians Maurice Byrne and Guy Warner, among others, to take part in a series of talks on Ireland’s aviation heritage.
Find out all about the Royal Air Force and Irish army aviation down through the years as the experts reveal air craft designs, jet and missile developments along with their knowledge of the history of transport and passenger airplanes in Ireland all the way back to 1909.
With a look at key players and aircraft owners in Ireland throughout history, this morning of talks is a must for aviation enthusiasts and those eager to learn how aviation helped to shape the Irish economy and how it played a central role in international aviation given our status as an island on the edge of Europe and the Atlantic Ocean.
