Disappointed that you weren’t able to pass Keills en route from Oban to Dublin – you would have made a fine sight over the Sound of Jura. Never mind – all best wishes for the rest of your journey.
small crowd were dissapointed at Hollywood along Belfast Lough that you didnt come down the lough as per flight plan but cut across the mouth of it to Bangor.
Fabulous sight at Oban, and thank you all so much for continuing the guided tours of the inside of the aircraft on Saturday morning before your departure. It was great to meet you all, chat with you and to see the aircraft.
Congratulations on completing this epic journey. On behalf of us all at Oban Airport, it was a great pleasure to support you and what a fantastic crew you have. Keep in touch and all the best to you and your families.
Thank you Tom. The Crew really enjoyed the visit as did the support team plus our Engineer. It was great meeting so many veterans who had been associated with Catalinas and Sunderlands during the war.
