& DGPS IMAGES |
|
The images on this page were kindly supplied by Finbar, and show a number of the beacons that are operating in various parts of Ireland. You will find pictures of the NDB at Ennis in County Clare, which is an enroute beacon for Shannon Airport, and also images of the DGPS beacon at Mizen Head in County Cork, which is at the most south westerly tip of Ireland. I'm very grateful to Finbar for sharing these wonderful shots with us, and for allowing me to display them here in the Beaconworld Photo Gallery. |
