100 years ago today in Ireland - The First Flight

Yes folks 100 years ago today man first took to the air here in Ireland in a heavier than air craft.

The Irish Aero Club had been born at the RIAC premises on Dawson Street in November 1909, and just a month later, on the last day of 1909, members gathered at Hillsborough, Co Down, at the invitation of a founding member, the 25-year-old “mad mechanic” Harry Ferguson of Belfast.
