Vincent O’Donnell shared this photo which he took on April 28, 1968.
Vincent said: “It shows a plane doing landings and take offs at Machaire Gathlán, Gweedore. There was a plan at the time to make a landing strip there to facilitate the industrial estate in Gweedore. Locals with commonage rights objected and so the landing strip ended up in Carrickfinn where the airport is today. At one time, while the plane was on the ground, there came a shower and some of the large crowd gathered took shelter under the plane's wings.”
On a Wing and a Prayer:
Thanks to Eugene Coll for this ‘Holy Water! Photo. Eugene says: “It's usually statues that we hear which have miraculously moved but this temporary mobile convenience was almost gone with the wind during stormy conditions at the Grotto on the Muckish Gap road. Normally the perfect place as a prayer stop but pretty perilous for a pit stop during high winds.”
