11 same year Wayne put some of the magazine's articles forward into the EMPA (European Military Publication Association) Awards, An Cosantóir won Best Article 2013 with 'At The Gates of Hell (Mali)' - written by Irish Author & Military Historian, Paul O'Brien MA; a great achievement for the magazine, Paul and Wayne. As well as redesigning the magazine and winning awards, Wayne took on other projects with regards to An Cosantóir, such as overseeing the scanning of older issues into downloadable PDF format files, which will ensure that the history of the magazine will continue on into the digital age. On top of that he oversaw the searchable database of the An Cosantóir which made researching through the older issues of the magazine, for the authors or the article titles, a breeze. If you've been an avid reader of An Cosantóir you'd know that Wayne - alongside his good friend Irish Author & Military Historian Paul O'Brien - has now become an author himself, co-authoring the highly coveted book 'Shadow Warriors'. Wayne has now moved on from the An Cosantóir office and PR Branch, he is now back serving in his beloved Air Corps. We here in the An Cosantóir office would like to wish Wayne all the best in his future endeavours not only in the Air Corps and Irish Defence Forces but any other future projects and jobs he takes on. Go raibh mile maith agat agus go n-éirí leat.
