Hi.
Sunderland L2158 landed at Skerries Co Dublin on 3 Sept 1939.
Sunderland N9023 landed in Dingle Bay, County Kerry on 14 Sept 1939.
Both of these aircraft were Aluminium/Silver.
N9023 at that time was with 228Sqn.
Sorry if this adds to the confusion!

Stroke city was hit as well wasnt it? Think there were a few killed ?

That was on 15/16 April, a single aircraft dropped a parachute mine 12 to 15 killed depending on the sources.

It was Brendan Gleeson, who I have a lot of respect for as an actor (as opposed to many today who are celebrities first and actors second). I must admit I was surprised at the choice of Gleeson to play Churchill, especially as he is from Dublin.

I’ve yet to watch ‘Into the Storm’.

Let’s hope Mr Homewood has checked up on ” the new GUY” Brendan Gleeson of whom he has never heard of. As PaulR mentions he is highly regarded in the States as well as Ireland, have you never heard of the film In Bruges?

CD…surprised at Gleeson playing Churchill? you should hear him with his Dublin accent, it’s nearly as good as mine!

Paul is one of the many people on this forum who is most helpful with imparting his vast knowledge and for which I am most grateful. I suggest that a simple thank you would be fitting.

If of any interest, when the Irish Air Corps Gladiators were camouflaged the props were dark grey
