Portacloy cliff walk
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Check out these drone views of a well-known spot on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot shaskeen28. The video was shot over the cliffs near Portacloy in County Mayo. The video captures the insignia "EIRE", which was etched into the cliff during World War II to warn German bombers that they were over the sovereign territory of (neutral) Ireland as opposed to that of (Allied) United Kingdom. The signs also (somewhat unintentionally) aided Allied airmen in their navigation over the British Isles.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:
This video was captured two days before the covid national lockdown in Ireland. This breathtaking site located in Carrowteige - Portacloy, Mayo, Ireland has the word "EIRE" Irish for Ireland marked into the top of the cliff. The marking was placed there back in WW2 to signal to the German bombers that this is Ireland not England. I didn't notice the markings until I sent the drone up. Whenever I see the "EIRE" symbol from above it still pulls on my heart strings.
