Very sad news this evening about the passing of Gp Capt Hemingway DFC. Honoured to have had the opportunity to have spent some time in his company, Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway DFC – Last of ‘The Few’. We reflect not only on his sacrifices, but the sacrifices of all those who served & fought in WWII. Paddy, thank you for your service. Per Ardua ad Astra https://t.co/ijgtRpgFTm

After Storm Éowyn's unprecedented impact, the Irish Air Corps joined @ESBNetworks personnel for low-level survey flights to assess damage. With 100,000s still without power, these flights guide restoration efforts to help communities recover. #IrishAirCorps #ESB #StormEowyn
