Still waiting Department for Infrastructure !

How long does it take these days to put down a little yellow thermoplastic and erect a few signs?

The residents of Cottage Row will be eternally grateful if you can squeeze this little job in. ๐Ÿฅณ

The Order will introduce a no waiting at any time restriction (loading and unloading permitted) on lengths of Cottage Row and Main Street, Eglinton. Vehicles are excepted from the restriction in certain circumstances.

Anyone found to be contravening the restrictions will be subject to a ยฃ90 fine.

Memorial Plaque at St Canice's Church, Eglinton.

There has been a small plaque remembering 2nd Lieutenant Johannes Blok at St Canice's Church, Main Street, Eglinton for many years.

2nd Lieutenant Blok was serving with 1847 Squadron R.N.A.S. and was flying a flying a Grumman Hellcat when he collided was CPO Simon de Ridder with whom he had been a good friend.

The official accident report stated: โ€œBoth aircraft immediately fell out of control, crashed in a field, but did not catch fire.

Naval personnel who were quickly on the scene found that both pilots were dead, having been killed instantaneously. Both Lt. Blok and Sgt. de Ridder were above average pilots and were exceptionally keen.โ€

The original plaque had become weathered and has been replaced.
Please see below which comes from the excellent https://www.facebook.com/groups/FleetAirArmFlyingDutchmen/
Thank-you very much to Hanno Spoelstra, Ray Burrows and HaPe Blok and those who replaced the plaque.

Did you know that the village of Eglinton was originally known as M**f (Irish Magh / an Mhagh or the plain) just like the townland and the river that flows through it today.

M**f was founded in 1619 by the Grocers' Company of London. As part of the Plantation of Ulster, James I had granted a large area (15,900 acres) of Faughanvale parish to the Grocers in 1609.

However, it was changed to Eglinton on the 19th August 1858 to avoid further confusion with the village of the same name in County Donegal.

The given name of Eglinton was in honour of the then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the 13th Earl of Eglinton, who was visiting the nearby Templemoyle Agricultural School at the time.
