Transatlantic: The Flying Boats of Foynes, Part 7
- Part 7: End of an Era
The War in Europe ended on May 25th, 1945. As normal life re-established itself, times also began to change for Foynes. Larger and more powerful aeroplanes had been built and operated successfully. A new land-based airport was established at the far side of the river. It was called Shannon International.
In this episode, Chief Operator of Launch Operations Frank Buckley describes the end of the flying boat service in Foynes, Ireland, and the emergence of Shannon airport as the new home for transatlatic aircraft in the Post-War years.
