    What ex-military aircraft are based (owned?) in Ireland?

    I heard a twin-engined aircraft flying overhead this afternoon - which sounded like an ex-military (WWII-era) plane - and it got me thinking are there many such aircraft based in Ireland.

    I recall reading an article a couple of years ago about a WWII-era, ex-USAF (twin engined....Beech?) plane being based at Weston Aerodrome (silver in colour).

    Wasn't there a Buccaneer bought a few years ago (think it was the one that was modified to test Tornado features). Think there's a DC-3 that is used for mineral mapping.
