    Interesting comments on this later photo (see rebuilt buildings note), particularly about the Golf Links Hotel, which means we are after 1896.

    Perhaps doesn't help with dating, but the hillside "chapel of ease" appears to have been built after the OSI 6" survey (1829-41), and before the OSI 25" survey (1897-1913). It was clearly demolished some time since.

    Been there too....today the kids do a lot of body surfing off the beach~ M Maloney
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Think there might be some younger folks at this golfing game that might have preferred the body surfing too. Not everyone in the photo looks engrossed!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Compare to this archive shot, L_CAB_06241, the massive Golf Links Hotel on the hill behind is missing. Opened in 1896, so we are before that date.

    Mussolini sent a congratulatory message to the fliers and said he hoped to see them for the Pentecost celebrations when they would be accorded a national welcome. The fliers received a huge welcome here, doing social rounds and meeting the de Valera led Cabinet. Up to 15 mechanics had to fashion parts from scrap metal to repair the under-carriage and it was two weeks before the plane took from Moy. Alas, they came down again, this time in Wales, when the engine failed. Another two weeks passed before the 'Mona Lisa' was repaired again. Commodore Pond, who was now at the end of his tether, made the sensational claim that their plane had been vandalised! It is now known if they got that national welcome promised by Mussolini. Incidentally, Lieut. Sabelli sported the Italian Facist badge. - D. O'Shaughnessy.

    denisoshaughnessy How marvellous! And what a picture of not only early aviation, but Thirties politics... Thank you!

    I found a picture of the aircraft at Floyd Bennett Field, New York (near the present JFK Airport) and it can be seen that it is a substantial enough machine. It is a Bellanca J-300 and this photo was taken by Rudy Arnold, an aviation photographer from the 1920s to the 1950s. sirismm.si.edu/nasmtop/NASM/7a/NASM-7A03451~A.jpg

    Irish251 Gorgeous to see the full machine, as the ditch in our photo, while adding to the drama, obscures so much of the plane...
