Summary
[edit]DescriptionPrincess Xenia (6152104689).jpg |
Fokker monoplane "Princess Xenia" which spent most of September 1927 at Baldonnel Aerodrome (now Casement Aerodrome) waiting for weather conditions to improve enough to attempt an East to West crossing of the Atlantic. We weren't sure initially whether the man in the cockpit here was Captain Robert Henry McIntosh or Irish Air Corps Commandant James Fitzmaurice. Thankfully, Bob Montgomery 2012 confirmed that Captain McIntosh is in the cockpit, and that this was just before take-off. The Xenia took off at 1.30 p.m. on 16 September 1927, but appalling weather conditions forced them to abort the flight. They returned to Ireland and landed on Beale Strand, Ballybunion, Co. Kerry. Date: Friday, 16 September 1927 NLI Ref.: INDH806 |
