Town celebrates golden age of flying boats
The flying boat era which put the Co Limerick port on the world map has been recaptured in a €2 million expansion to the local Flying Boat Museum, which was officially opened by Tourism Minister John O’Donoghue.
The centrepiece of the extended museum is a full-size replica of a Yankee Clipper flying boat — the fastest civil aircraft flying the Atlantic during the Second World War.
