Ireland's Premier Seaplane Festival

The Fermanagh Seaplane Festival took place in September 2011

It was one of the most unique festival's ever to grace Northern Ireland and the Island of Ireland.
           Organisers brough an old run down WWII RAF base back to life, they brough history and culture to those who never knew, and opened the hearts of millions to beautiful stories of adventure and honour to those who gave their lives for freedom.
            For the first time in 70 years the organisers brought not one, but two WWII Catalina Aircraft home, to the beautiful Lakeland’s of Fermanagh to celebrate what was the second ‘Fermanagh Seaplane Festival’.
               Even more amazing was heart breaking and amazing story of two elderly WWII vets return to the air, in an aircraft that they had not even set foot in for over 70 years. A story to remember:
