    They gopt plenty of calls and good footage from the shouts they were on, seems like a good job. Considering they only do 400 jobs a year nationally.

    Will Shannon be busier? More sea calls?

    They got a rally of local support.....


    Felt sorry for the paramedic that winch the climber up. That sinking feeling you have missed something in a handover or your initial assessment...

    So an average of 150 call per heli, most likely specific stats for each base? Some say Shannon is the busiest, is this true.

    Is there many a time all 4 helis are out at the same time on different calls or some tasked to the same call?

    There is an innuendo involving "pulling" and "wire" somewhere, but its Sunday, so I'll desist.
