THE Impartial Reporter s archives reveal a solo visit by Prince Philip to Fermanagh in 1956, where he was welcomed to Enniskillen and drove through villages en route to Colebrooke estate. On April 23, 1956, Prince Philip landed at RAF St. Angelo on a Monday morning and shock hands with Lord Brookborough, and said: “Well, I have kept my promise.” A keen pilot, Prince Philip flew himself part of the way to St. Angelo. The Impartial Reporter said: “From the moment The Duke was seen removing his intercom earphones and climbing out of the pilot s seat as the aircraft came to a stop, his one and a half hours in the public eye were notable for the simple casualness which is characteristic of the central figure himself.”
