Drivers alerted to low-flying helicopters

From the Indo - Saturday December 10 2011

MOTORISTS in Dublin were warned yesterday not to be distracted by low-flying helicopters surveying train lines.

Commissioned by Irish Rail and undertaken by PDG Helicopters and Irish Helicopters, the aircraft are scanning DART overhead lines with a thermal imaging camera and checking for overheated parts.

"The aircraft will be flying quite low so people should be cautious," said Ian Baird from Irish Helicopters.

I think the helicopter in question is G-NTWK, which is owned by Network Rail. I saw it going from Greystones past by Bray, following the railway. I have a picture of the helicopter going past and I will try and upload later.
