    Hi all, i got told "276" was on the pad at UCHG so decided to go down and got these few snaps, as you can see it was miserable weather when i got there but the sun eventually came out and made the final shots all the while better, big thanks to the Crew Member who was nice to talk to and i had a nice chat with him indeed.

    Anyway on with the snaps, she is still on the ground as i post this and outside its back to miserable rain and dirty low cloud over Galway City, anyway enjoy.

    Nice one, Dave (met you at Beers on Friday night). Did you need permission to take pictures of it?

    Thanks very much, i didnt need permission but as there was an Air Corps Crew Member on board her at the time i simply asked would it be ok and he said no problem, then after we had a chat and 2 Paramedics from the Ambulance service came down and he then gave us a talk about the AW139 and the stuff they do with her, top class guy.:) The Ambulance guys were very interested especially in the stretcher arrangements and how long it took to get to and from Baldonnel.
