If its any help to you, I saw the new helicopter flying at low level over Cork City yesterday, usually the Waterford units cover this area.

Sligo's EI-CZN was in Castlebar at the GMIT this afternoon for 2 hours,it did a demo,winching etc etc....it was excellent and windy weather made it all the more interesting.It departed back to Sligo at 1800hrs.

Anyone know the timescale for the rest of the S-92's to take over at the other bases?
