Learning To Fly

from £25.00
Size:

In a recently discovered abandoned mansion in Ireland, an intriguing discovery was made: flying manuals and field glasses that once belonged to a WWII pilot who trained at Eglinton and was stationed at Sydenham in Belfast during the war. The manuals, worn but intact, reveal the rigorous training the pilot underwent at Eglinton, now City of Derry Airport, where many RAF pilots learned crucial flying skills. The field glasses, essential for spotting enemy aircraft and ships, evoke the pilot’s time at Sydenham, a key airfield for maritime patrols and coastal defence. These items offer a personal connection to the wartime efforts, preserving the memory of a pilot’s service during a critical period in history.
