Irish Coast Guard S92 just went over low and fast at Newcastle , looked like he was coming from Aldergrove direction.

Probably for the best!  An S-92 would scare the dog and babies too.  I still don't understand how Sikorsky designed such a horribly mis-proportioned helicopter.

Quite a shock from a company that brought us the S-65 and S-76, both gorgeous to my eyes.




I`m glad I`m not the only one that thinks the S-92 is a bit of a bogbeast. ;)

14:50 EI-ICR went north past Ards, to the west, about 4000 ft so presumably back around the City now.  I see him reporting 2000 ft
