Hi all, any idea is there much Helicopter activity around this year?? Its the only thing i like about the Races TBH.

Hi guys went down to the Landing Site beside Galway Docks today for a few shots around 1pm and only one was operating so got these from 1pm












So then later after 6:30PM i decided to head down again with my dad and we got nothing then out of the blue within the space of 6 minutes all of this happened!!! :-)



















Anyway thats all for today,

Enjoy,

Dave.

Down the back of the Docks near the fuel containers, I snapped LE Eithne, pics are in the Mil section, she left at 18:30 yesterday and R115 did winching with her as she left Galway bay.
