The one in Dublin uses the old IONA hangar near the control tower, in Sligo you pass it as you enter the airport, can't miss it. Sligo has probably the best view of all the hangars.

Daa won't left them build a permanent structure in Dublin,even though the lads are there years,it means having to fly down to Waterford of any big maintenance work,maybe when the contract is up for tender in 2012,they'll finally agree to build a permanent one

here's waterford,it's the big hangar on the far left!
can hold 2 s-61's with the blades open,3 with blades folded

Is this for REAL ????

What sort of short-sighted nonsense is this ?

No wonder the bloody country is going to hell in a basket when dodgy semi-civil servants can impose this level of small minded restriction on what should be a core part of an Island Nations Coastal Protection.

"Won`t let them"......Jeebus..the mind boggles !! :mad:

Yep at the moment they use portacabins and the hangar is really
just a tent! It's been this way for 10ish years!

Daa don't want to be wasting their precious land on something
that won't make them money!

When the CHC contract is up what's going to happen to the SAR service and to the S61s

punchdrunk

mostly likely it will be awarded to them again,but with a new fleet
considering the 139 has been a bit of a disaster in the uk i'd imagine we'll get s-92's in all four bases

with CHC covering all of the UK & Ireland with the same choppers in action at every base it should streamline spares supply and training and minimise the amount of time bases go off-line
