    For people who went to Glasto in the early 1990's, they are all mature, settles with kids and jobs now. They want to relive those heady days, but with less muck and more supervised activities for the kids.

    The morning of May 9th according to my mother, who will be able to see this from her living room. We're planning to take the kids down to see its arrival. The locals are pretty excited about it all, and his collection of London blak cabs arrived at the weekend.

    Of course, the date may well change/have changed already due to the scope of the project.

    I said it before and I'll say it again, the absolute best of luck to him, he's doing something not just for him, but for his whole community.

    I really hope it works out for him, and he gets set up.

    I'd love to go there when it's all up and running.

    I'd say you'll fighting for a good shot. Media will be all over this, everyone loves an odd story like this.
    Every credit to this businessman as this story will go worldwide. Tourism Ireland are very helpful with grants for the likes of this so he certainly has his head screwed on.

    i for one will be staying there when its sorted. this is an excellent venture and he deserves the full support of anybody interested in aviation.

    i would love to do something like this, even a restaurant or venue available for parties.

    If anyone here knows this guy will they introduce him to the notion of crowd funding. I would gladly part with €100 for the possibility that he pulls this off.

    Saw this on TV a few months back, the interior is fairly rough and ready and certainly won't win any design awards. :)
