Hi Dave,

My name is Hugo Wilhare. I'm building a database of aviation sites in
Ireland.
So this site is of interest to me. I contacted a friend who tries to
keep up to date on aviation
events in that area. He replied as follows:

>I wonder if this is the site where Mark Holmes (Ex Mullaghmore) was
going to set up
>shop..? I don't know much else on this one at the moment I'm afraid.

Got this of G-INFO
MARK CARSON HOLMES Re G-BOLL
67 MAIN STREET
PORTRUSH
BT56 8BN

The co-ords are at the townland of Ree. The site is on the western
shore of the river Bann,
which places it Co Derry not Antrim with possible direct access to
the river. The road to the site is via
the Ree Road from the A54 at Milltown Bridge. It's 2nm N of the
Mullaghmore strip and as
you say (3m) 2.5nm WSW of Ballymoney (that's in Co Antrim). For years
I've heard of a
Marine aviation base on the river Bann, I couldn't pinpoint the
location. It would seem that
this is not the missing location a sit's too new. If I find out
anymore I'll let you know.

Would it be possible to scan that section of the update and mail it
to me.

Hugo.
