This is the story of the first military aviation facility in Ireland: the Royal Naval Air Service airships which patrolled the waters between Ireland and Scotland during the 1st World war combating the German U-Boast menace. This is also an important piece of local history as the airships flew from Bentra, near Whitehead, in County Antrim supporting the naval forces based in Larne.
