In this clip taken from an interview on 8th September 2016, Commandant Anthony (Tony Roe) tells a short story about an American crew who were staying temporarily at Baldonell (to convey Irish troops to the Congo in the early 1960s). He explains how the Americans faked a carburettor problem with the Globemaster plane they were flying in order to get another night out in Dublin where they had met some young ladies in the city. Tony also recalls dressing up as American airmen for photographs, using the uniforms of the men.
