NOSTALGIA: Derry and Inishowen in pictures - February 1997

In February 1997 Ciara McGurk, aged 18, became the North-West’s youngest female pilot to earn a solo flying licence; the case taken by relatives of the Bloody Sunday dead in an attempt to get the findings of the Widgery Tribunal overturned was heard in the Belfast High Court; and a group of Inishowen men came up with a novel fundraising charity idea - a project to grow and reap a field of corn without using modern farm machinery. As ever the ‘Journal’ photographers were out and about.
