Posted in Army section as this is an Irish army manned location during aircraft visits.
On Tuesday night Shannon had another embarrassing security breach as two overnighting US Navy 737's were visited by graffiti artists and daubed with slogans. (Two offenders , one former DF officer and well known anti war noise maker)
The aircraft were parked on a designated section of disused runway, with flood lighting and fencing. The site was manned(portacabins)by Irish Army personnel. The offenders still managed proceed with a repaint under their noses. Someone is having their interpretation of sentry/security detail redefined I'd imagine.
Not a first time security breach at Shannon-Daly and Wallace had to call the tower by phone to tell them they were on the runway! A bit of a national embarrassment really.
