VE Day Commemorations in Enniskillen, RAF Pilots of Nutts Corner and Portrush’s Pioneering Golfer

The 80th anniversary commemorations of VE Day in Enniskillen, a look at the history of the airfield and pilots at Nutts Corner, and honouring a golfing trailblazer in Portrush.

Helen Mark speaks to Alan Brook, from Brookeborough as his great-great nephew leads the VE Day commemorations in Fermanagh. Also, we're paying tribute to a remarkable woman from Aghadowey who blazed a trail in the world of golf, and tales from the Little Historians Gallery in Bangor. In Binevenagh, we hear about Thomas Frederick Colby, the man whose mapping base line at Lough Foyle helped engineer the end of World War II. And the story of the pilots of Nutts Corner and 99-year-old aviation volunteer, Fred Jennings.
