Good fined and great shots!

But what were Sikorsky thinking when they designed that bird?  Such an awkward blend of angles and surfaces, looks cobbled together.

Edit: is Letterkenny Hospital open for A&E again?  It had diverted to Altnagelvin last week due to the flooding of the ground floor, where all the analytical equipment lives.

Photos were taken around 3:45pm. Letterkenny is still closed to emergencies at the moment.
