Annual Birr breakfast fly-in ready for take-off

Aviation enthusiasts and local families are expected to flock towards Birr airfield tomorrow (Saturday, May 30) for the annual fundraising 'Breakfast Fly-In'.

The event will be held by the local Ormond Flying Club and all proceeds raised from the day's events go towards St Vincent de Paul. With breakfast available to attendees, events are scheduled to take-off at the airfield from 10am and conclude at 2pm.

In the past number of years, the Fly-In event has managed to raise over €600,000 in total towards the local St Vincent de Paul charity.
