It was reminiscent of the flying boats era on the Shannon Estuary early on Thursday morning when a giant plane was loaded on a barge for transport by sea to Enniscrone in County Sligo.
The TransAero Boeing 767-200 was bought by business man David McGowan to be installed in his glamping site near the popular resort.
It was a major logistical exercise, involving up to 60 people, to get the plane from Shannon Airport compound to the waters’ edge on Wednesday and onto the barge, as tides were a factor.
