Military Activity?

There have been persistent rumors on the grapevine about late-night activity at Abbeyshrule airfield, but no word about it officially. This is normally a day-only runway. Anyone else heard anything?

Just a rumour?

I am unsure about this,but I know it has become almost impossible to hang around abbyshrule by night.
Has anyone seen anything about this on the fascists fantasy boards? They usually boast about things like this.

AIRCRAFT MOVEMENTS

GET REAL! There has been no extra movements in Abeyshrule of late. Most of you don't seem to know the difference between one type of aircraft and another (except for a certain Green Party member). Why not sit down and do your research before you post?

Abbyshrule

You should all know this I feel. I am a native of Abbyshrule. Lately the airfield has been very very busy by day and by night, and at night large planes (I think the type that Eoin Dubsky spray painted) fly low over my house and land at the field. They take off some time after. This has been happining on and off for the last few months but it is now a regular feature scence the actions at shannon have taken place.
I WANT SOME ANSWERS AND SOME SLEEP AT NIGHT WITH THESES PLANES

Best Guess...

Dear Sir,
My best guess is probably Piper Warriors or other such 6 seater aircraft (not military), and Abbeyshrule doesn't operate at night - and that is both official and on record...

Yours Faithfully,
