The Aries G-AOGA and also G-ANPC Tiger Moth along with other aircraft were intended for what was known as the Irish Aviation Museum. The Museum had no building of their own as such and when the Museum folded the items all moved on. The Aries cockpit had gone by 1991 and the Tiger Moth during 1996. No-one has ever been able to locate these two aircraft since other than a rumour that they are stored in a shed in North Dublin. Skerries is one location that has been mentioned to me. It’s odd that neither of these two aircraft have surfaced again after this length of time.

Noted arrived at IAM, Dublin in January 1984. July 1993, noted still with Irish Aviation Museum, Dublin. (stored off site). YES

As regards G-AOGA does anyone have an update on it’s current location? Where does the stored off site information come from?

Griffon 59

There was also a Griffon 59 engine in a shed as well – could this and the prop possibly be from a Fairey Firefly that crashed off Portstewart? The engine and prop of that one were said to be recovered in 1987 and went to an Aviation Society in the Enniskillen area.

Canopy

Thanks for your help folks! This canopy was also in the collection that I saw and appears to be from an early jet fighter – Sea Vixen perhaps?

Propellor Hub

This is close up of the propellor hub – not sure if this helps at all?
