    An Air Corps plane was forced to make an emergency landing after smoke was discovered in its cabin.

    The CASA aircraft, which had been on maritime patrol off the south-west coast, was diverted to Kerry Airport.

    A specialist team was deployed from Baldonnel in Dublin to carry out a technical examination of the plane, which landed without incident.

    A Defence Forces spokesman said all six crew were safe and well.

    Hopefully this won't keep the Casa out of action for too long.

    I know we have more than one, but it's like saying "the car is out of action", I'm not referring to every single car. Calling something "the ....." is a common Irish idiom.

    And anyway, the news report refered to that specific a/c, so for Dyflin to refer to it as THE was technically correct!! :D;):p
