See that on IAC Facebook but you kept that quiet. Would of been nice of you to stick some info about this on the board as some folks would be maybe liked to of known about this. Bit far up for me though to see a Chippie.

On the photos, nice record but pity you shot into the Sun. Got any others that came out better Sun Side?

Oh, never heard about this... saying that I don't keep my finger on the pulse when it comes to IAC and it was a bit too far to travel for a little prop. Nice to see though and thanks for sharing. The shots should come in handy for anyone modelling an IAC Chippie. Definitely use the forums here to share future events like this for those who might be interested and who are not signed up to newsletters, Facebook and so on.

Paul Kolbe? But you're Paul Hurley! I know you've always liked the name Kolbe so have you changed your name legally or is this a pseudonym for tax purposes? Shhh Hahah!

PS - Just my opinion but I think the Paul Kolbe 2012 detracts from the subject of the photos... it might be an idea to make it a lot smaller, a lot less fancy and fade it way back to make it more of a watermark (if you must have one). Just my 2 cents... no need to listen to me, I've just got my critical designer cap on that's all. Ya winkles

Nice shots Paul. And don't mind George ;o) I love that moody feel when shooting against sun.

There's an article in Flying In Ireland this month about the restoration of this Chip including some photos and so on, so if anyone's interested visit in Eason's shouldn't be delayed as new issue will be out shortly.
And as for the walkaround photographs, there's original one in Baldonnell.

Got my copy of Flying in Ireland yesterday, do I recognize some of the Chipmunk photos published in there?

Well done Paul and congrats. Hope to see many more of your shots in the print in the future. Eat
