New Garda aircraft

Last I heard was it was only out to tender.

But it seems they selected the EC145 tail 287 and it has broken cover at the airbus heli facility. Also with a new colour scheme.

Is it not the customer that decides the colour scheme?

Relax Folks ,id say thats not the finished Colour Scheme. Sure they are still building it as you can see.

I like the colour scheme for what it's worth.

On a separate note, do AGS have any plans to procure drones e.g. Bayraktar TB3? They would be able to cover large areas of the country a lot more efficiently compared to a Garda patrol car.

Ah they're grand to me, the helicopter has had blue and yellow on it before.

I don't know why they are always fiddling with the livery on any of the vehicles. Waste of money.

in fairness I agree the colours are.. a bit meh but at the same time of the Garda Helicopter is out and about the least of my concern is the colour in the Sky.

The colours wount really be visible when it's circling above you.

I do query the weird black segment in the centre
