getting back to being interested in real life aviation as well as sims so ive rejoined my local aviation Society , The Ulster Aviation Society .

Last I was with them was 20 years ago when they were based at Langford Lodge , and old ww2 B-17 base before the aircraft were dispersed to their actual fields in England . My grandfather worked on that base as a civilian contractor in ww2 and is still there , although the society had to decant to another ww2 base at the Maze , Lisburn when Langford Lodges current owners wished to expand their ejector seat operation.

I’m excited to see the new home of the society and I can highly recommend anyone based in NI to support this society ( i had been meaning to rejoin for about 10 years ) , an absolute bargain at £26 for the family .
