Drat!!! :( I was going to head down to St.Angelo today but the forecast wasn`t too special and put me off.

I believe EI-GCE was involved in a rescue of a girl near the cliffs at Portrush last night.

Interesting.He didn't arrive here until 1630ish,but i'm not sure where from.They were on the ground for around 40 mins before departing to Sligo.

First time i've seen this Dauphin at EGAB,of course it had to be bucketing rain again aswell :( :(


Nothing else sounds similar - reminded me of the time when the Irish Air Corps variant visited before its retirement.'247' was in along with the tiger scheme Puma back in 2005.

Nice one. If it stayed any longer it might have needed that floatation gear :)
