AIRC West
Nothing ousts The Louisburgh Horse Show from the diary - here’s why ⤵️
Newcastle West Show, which in the past clashed with ‘Luxembourgh’, has always had a very amicable understanding about this commitment. By all accounts, a great show held in an area brimful of horse heritage too and now with the Limerick show's date change to Sunday, June 23rd = win-win.
Today’s feature in The Irish Field is about the Newcastle West show recce that grew into dropping into yards and kitchens to meet just a sample of Limerick characters en-route.
It would have taken a week to fit everyone in but a very Good Friday for starters in Part 1 ⤵️

Had the whole dynamics, lift/airflow theories, Bernouli's Principle etc about how planes can fly explained to me more often than the offside rule and yet.. 😵💫
Sometimes its best just to watch in awe at physics in action, like this Miami-bound Swiss ✈️ taking off this morning at Zurich.
