Aero L-29 Delfin



The Pilot Seamus O'Ceallaigh worked for 15 years at IBM and then moved to Memorex, leaving in 1991 to form his own company. LSS has grown from a £150,000 turnover in 1991 to £4.5 million today. Seamus predicts that Wiztec will hit the £1 million mark this year. Seamus works 10-hour days, Monday to Saturday and on Sundays he enjoys flying for a couple of hours. "I currently am flying an L29 fighter jet, which is mainly for aerobatics, but the beauty of flying is that its total concentration permits nothing else into your mind. When I'm finished flying, I go back to work," said O'Ceallaigh.
