A massive sign from World War II warning bomber crews, that they were entering neutral Irish airspace, has been revealed thanks to a coastal wildfire.

Sky News reports that a large gorse fire last month exposed the huge signal at Bray Head on Ireland's east coast. The sign spells out the word "Eire," which is the Irish word for Ireland.
