    CXS was into Galway hospital tonight as Rescue 115 for possibly the last time. The new S92 is due to go "live" on July 1st, unless there is a change of plan that I didn't hear of, that's Sunday week.:)

    Is this the oldest one of these operating in the world? A RNLI guy told me there is one in Ireland that's the oldest in the world, but not sure if this is it?

    There is one based at Waterford (Rescue117) that has just past the 50 year mark but can't think of the top of my head what reg it is. That would be one of the oldest at least.
