F14 'tomcat' tail fin found washed up on Cork Beach

An American F-14 tomcat tail fin was discovered washed up on an Irish Beach on friday this week. The fin was in very good condition which suggests it has only been in the water for a few weeks or months. The U.S. navy denies losing any planes in the region or any tail fins, so this begs the question, where did it come from? What are the U.S. military covering up?

There are regular reports of U.S. fighter activity over west Cork, which, of course, is illegal and a violation of irish Airspace, unless specific permission is given for each flight by the Minister for foreign Affairs.

Has the Minister for foreign affairs given permission for fully armed military fighter aircraft to use our territory as part of military operations in an illegal and brutal occupation of a foreign country?
