ah youse know nothing about being stranded down there, i know a guy who lives on an island off the north west and when the weather gets rough which it usually does he couold be stranded there for a fortnight no boats going or choppers coming in with food etc...
Well We had a Big Snow in 2001 aswell I remember Trying to Get the Misses to Hospital (she was 9 months Pregnant at the Time after all.) and not being able to move in the Snow.
It was 1982 and it took the Air Corps 5 days to get to us to bring us milk and Bread Etc and to drop a Doctor in. Funny as Oldtown is almost exactly Half Way between Gromanston and Dublin Airport.
I never Contribute to the AirCorps section so I thought I'd Add this for Silver, Earhart and Co. OK this was taken by my Dad when the AC Was called in to Airlift supplies to the Snowbound Village of Oldtown. Co Dublin.
