And that's not all. There's a lot going on, I don't put it all up here as I don't get that much time on the net, so here's some extracts. Tuesday Oct 22 11:55 USAF Hercules lands at Shannon heading 060. Reg of plane is MN 1007 appears to be from AF 96 Squadron. appears to have extra fuel tanks between no 1 & 2 engine and no 3& 4 engine. Didn't get great visual on squadron patch, but would recognise it again. FBO van makes several trips to collect large number of uniformed troops. plane refuels and takes off heading 060 at 13:35
US NAVY C-9 from 'Conquistadore' Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR 57) based at the NAS (Naval Air Station) North Island San, Diego, California. US Navy C-20G from VR-48 and a few planes that decided it was a good idea to land without lights. Come see for yourself, day and night at Shannon WARport, Shannon, Co. Clare.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3why doesn't someone update refuelingpeace.org website more ofen. No mention of recent demo or update of visits. I know you can't be everywhere but one hour a week would do.
it has to be said time and time again that the work tim is doing down in shannon is absolutely phenomenal and he deserves much much praise.
keep up the great work tim!!!
Well, the website has been neglected alright.
Eoin has had three court cases on the hop.
Crown v Dubsky (for a Faslane action)
DPP V Dubsky (for painting the US Special Forces Hercules)
Dubsky v the State. (trying to stop the use of Shannon)
Plus he's doing work for Coastwatch.
I'm doing the planespotting, as well as continuing stuff about Sellafield and a few other things.
If I get access to the website I'll put stuff on it.
Eoin has just put on some new stuff on the web, there's some more we want up when we get time.
What we need is more people/ support / people making frequent complaints to Bertie and Cowen.
a handful will do sod all, but a few dozen a week will set off a few bells.
