Runways too short.:D

The oddball thing about it was all the UK Reg Toyota Landcruisers that picked the stars up when they came off the plane, they probably drove the stars from Malin Head to Belfast Airport and then drove down to Cork empty to collect them.

That's Hollywood for you. Just a small part of the reason why these films cost tens of millions to make.

Titan is actually a moon of Saturn(or is it?)

"That's no moon. It's a space station."

They were supposedly filming at Loop Head in Clare from Tuesday to Thursday this week.

I don't understand why they flew to Cork On Monday and drove up from there instead of flying directly to Shannon.

There was apparently some filming in Kerry and they then went on to Clare after that was completed

I have also removed an off topic and offensive post about Shannon and the quotes that mentioned it.

Could the cast now have flow in a 737 from Derry to Kerry, Belfast to Cork is rather a circumnavigation?

They are filming in West Kerry (near Ballyferriter). They had just finished filming up north on Malin Head.

Is Kerry limited in taking a 767? Cork is only 133mts longer, would parking have been an issue?

Unlikely. there is an entire disused runway to choose from.

Regarding

Is Kerry limited in taking a 767

someone more informed will be along shortly.

Kerry does have a full disused runway so I'd agree.

Tenger

I think we have completed our discussion about the arrival of the Star Wars cast and crew

Have they left yet? :P
