As a man who has family in Donegal and visited on many occasions I can tell you that if something remotely interesting occurs in the rural areas (most of it) it’s worthy of a plaque and story recital down the local pub for the next 30 years... perhaps longer for a really good story like this.
I’ve no knowledge of this incident but being 1949 the Seafire has crash landed in ROI so not so routine I’d imagine ending up there.
