Scale Model of the "Mayfly", the only one in existence
"I have I believe the only scale model in existence of the "mayfly". Lillian Bland was the first Irish woman to fly a plane in Ireland and the world's first female aviation engineer. She built the "mayfly" from scratch. I was writing an article on this fascinating woman for the engineers journal and I discovered the blueprints. I had a model made subsequently. My article can be found if you google Kenneth l Mitchell engineers journal and Lillian bland. You should also consider doing a piece on the 'baal bridge square" in Limerick which is thought to be the world's oldest Masonic object "
