Rescue 115 EI-GCE

Post by Fouga »

Hi all,

As i was going to the cinema i was walking along Lough Atalia in Galway City when Rescue 115 turned up, Obviously looking for someone as the winchman was out and the cameras were moving around and the lifeboat was out, anyway i got a few shots of her so hope you like, i think it all ended well as she only did 2 or 3 passes before the winchman gave the people who had all pulled over and stopped to look a wave which was nice !

Anyway here's the snaps..

More annoying when people post in the wrong section, and are obviously looking for praise :grin:

You can move if you want i just put her here as the Irish Coast Guard is a part of the Dept Of Transport, so a Govt body. But if you want to move it feel free.

Nice to see some shots of company aircraft. I'll be making my first visit to one of the Irish SAR bases in a few weeks time.

Suspect the General Aviation section would be more applicable. The helicopters are operated by civilian crews/commercial entity on behalf of the Irish Government, however whilst conducting SAR operations, they are exempt from a number of regulartions pertaining to civilian aircraft.
