National Grid Helicopters

[JasonT1981]

It was announced last night 3 Helicopters would be coming to NI  to assist with restoring the electrical grid. They seem to be in the air now. (14:56)

G-RIDC - Bell 429 GlobalRanger - National Grid
G-WPDE - Airbus Helicopters H135 - National Grid

Also operating is

G-NLSE - Aerospatiale AS355 F2 Ecureuil 2 - PDG Aviation Services

Not sure if it is part of the operation, but going by movements it seemed to be involved in something.

Possibly bringing in some generators?

I'm assuming it was G-RIDC that passed high over Bangor area on its way back to the mainland yesterday morning.
