I live right beside eglinton aerodrome i learnd to drive there and flew from there many times . there are lots of ww2 aircraft still lying around . There was a spit lying in the mud at the end of the runway for years until they lenghtend the runway also a bolton paul defiant ,corsair ,barracuda and many more . Many aircraft crashed into the sperrin mountains because their compasses were being altered by the metal ores in them .And i've heard plenty of stories about german uboat crews socialising in donegal and the west of the free state. During the war the guns of the free state all pointed towards the North. They also offered hitler sanctuary near the end of the war
