Something I heard about a lad flying from Ballycumber to land on the roof of Golden Island Shopping Centre to get keys cut.

Obviously wanted to avoid the traffic.

Sean "Predator" O'Brien was the pilot.
Obviously trying to do some showing off!

The helicopter was crashed a couple of months later.
It was owned by Aidan Bracken of the Building Design company.

A metaphor for the economic crash maybe!

High Flying Ballycumber!!!
