    Just grabbed this a few seconds ago over the house, Rescue118 based in Sligo, one of the Sikorsky S61N's of the Irish Coast Guard, still on the ground now at UCHG.

    I've heard this beast flying overhead in Shantalla enroute to UCHG a couple of times. Nearly shakes the foundations of the gaff!
