I like(Not personally,similarly !!) Fat Grandad am exiled in the West of Ireland and have received a mail saying I have a refund to my subscription but no further info so was mystified .Now we know why.
As have read todays Echo on line have a poser for you
Stobart talking about rekindling the flight from Southend to Dublin. I am ten minutes from Shannon airport and so potentially in flying distance of Home !and the Hall or F.F.
Shannon also has US preclearance facilities,a first class airport and less crowded than Dublin plus the delights of The West of Ireland .
Please start a campaign for Stobart to fly to Shannon instead.
It's Flybe that will be running the service, but if it is as infrequently used by passengers as last time the route will die again very quickly. Shannon? Two hopes, Bob and No.
