Extra tuition

Some months ago Dalaradia facilitated extra tuition for local pupils sitting the transfer test,
We are delighted to learn that 90% of the children passed the test and achieved the school place of their choice.
A huge well done to the pupils and their teachers who believed in us

Today members of Dalaradia/RATH laid a wreath at a memorial within Belfast Zoo in memory of American Soldiers who lost their lives at Cave Hill on their 80th anniversary, unfortunately the American Consulate couldn’t attend as originally planned.
The crash site is just a stones throw away from our estate. On this historic event, many people would be surprised to learn that the first place in Europe that American soldiers set foot during the Second World War was Belfast. On 1st June 1944, Boeing B-17 #42-97862 en-route to Nutts Corner Airfield from Gander, Newfoundland crashed on the slopes of Cave Hill due to heavy fog killing 10 of the crew members onboard.
Did you know In 1991 a local man Alfred Montgomery found the planes radio operator
S/Sgt Lawrence Dundon’s wedding ring at the crash site? After years of research, he tracked down the airman’s widow Ruth Gillespie in Kentucky, U.S.A. and returned the treasured memento. This event formed the basis for the Holywood movie ‘Closing The Ring’ directed by Sir Richard Attenborough. And guess who Alfred is? The same man who provided us with military vehicles at our Rathcoole Row on Row service last November.
