The all evasive RSU Volvo was finally parked up today, for me to photograph.




Excuse the ridiculous editing, but I'm bored to tears and wanted to pass a bit of time. Will upload some of the other shots I took later on (only got two or three "close up" ones before the battery in the camera died).

Here are the others (and the above one, edited a little less extreme);

Lifted this off the internet. It is a PSNI vehicle, never seen one designed like this before.

Around the local Garda Station today was a "Road Safety Awareness" day. It was somewhat similar to the Garda Open Day that was at the station last September. For some reason, which I can't seem to figure out, last year was entirely Garda orientated (everything was Garda gear and equipment, with the exception of the Fire Service who showed up for an hour or two in a tender) and the day was marketed solely as a Garda Open Day. There were thousands at it.


Earlier Today/Yesterday (depending on when you read this) was much, much better. Garda, Civil Defence, Fire Service, Drogheda River Rescue, Boyne Fishermen's Rescue and Recovery, Coast Guard, HSE (unofficially) were all in attendance. Fire Service cut the roof off a car in a demonstration, there were a handful of rally, F1 and vintage cars, arcade-style driving/cycling simulators, a 360degree twirling car (to simulate a crash, barrel-rolling car), articulated lorry with motorbikes set up to demonstrate blind-spots, etc. pretty much, almost every service in the town (though for some reason no sign of the Voluntary ambulance units like St John or Malta) had something to show off and everything was much better than last year... but no one really showed up.

It doesn't make sense to me. I'd say if they got 1,000 people throughout the course of the day they'd be doing well, which is crazy, considering the amounts of people that were at the Open Day. Personally, I only found out about it the day beforehand, and no one I know knew about it, so I'd guess shoddy advertising is the obvious choice to blame.


That said, fair play to the ladies and gents of all the services. All very approachable and easy-going (as they always are).

Anyway, this is a picture thread, so I'll throw up a few snapshots from it (I took a fair few photos, so I'm too lazy to edit them all, so they're straight out of camera for the time being).

Sorry the photos aren't the sharpest. In order to quicken the upload time, I used Pixresizer to resize them. It's a fast program, but it really robs the photos of detail to make the file size smaller.

Hat's off to all involved on the day. I hope the shoddy turnout doesn't put them off doing another emergency services themed day next year.

Just two quickly edited shots before I head to sleep. Only one is vehicle-related though

This kinda of falls into this category, so why not lash it in here. Its an ex HSE/ Order of Matla Ambo. We are driving it to Mongolia, where it will go into service as a fully functioning ambulance.

Taken at a recent Road Safety event in Wexford. The unit had only been dropped off at the Station that morning and had only 77 Kilometres on the clock.

I snapped these today at the Tall Ships Race in Waterford, the two motorbike one's are shortly after Enda Kenny's arrival. He walked right past me, and I didn't even realize who it was, just snapping away hehe
I resized them, but hopefully they're not too big.

Woah, they were a bit big. A tad smaller perhaps.

One more from Thursday. I'll take more today hopefully.

I would like to thank all the crew from the Air Corps Crash Rescue Service for looking after me so well during the recent exercise in the Glen of Imaal.

True professionals and gentlemen all, again thanks guys…. Some photos of the crew and their “Big Red Bus”…

This is all I got from the Saturday. I wasn't very active with the camera, just spending the day lazing in the park with friends.

Great job done by the Gardaí and other ES this weekend in Waterford
