Hi Fouga,

Nice to see your pictures of the Shannon based Sikorsky.  As I live relatively close to the hospital in Galway aswell I took this picture of the Dublin Based Sikorsky S61N EI-CIS (Rescue116) back in June coming to land at Galway Hospital to transfer a patient to Dublin( The Shannon base machine was somewhere off the west coast on some mission, can't remember exactly what.  Sorry for the quality, but my camera hasn't the zoom that some have.

The Dublin-based S-61N is EI-MES.

OUCH!!!

First post and mistakes already. Or... do they have a second, reserve helo at Dublin with that reg.  I know that the rescue callsigns are location specific rather than aircraft specific.  I'm nearly sure that this was Rescue 116 that day.  If im wrong I stand corrected.  Whats the reg for the Sligo Sikorsky (R118)?

Hi Folks

I now believe that the reg of the Sikorsky S61N in my picture is EI-CXS as I found a picture on the net, one from about 2001 or 2002, then doing an exercise with Kilrush lifeboat.  The standby chopper at Shannon I believe is EI-CNL so could EI-CXS be the Dublin standby, hence if was used that day, Rescue 116.  Anybody confirm or correct this?  I took the reg from the picture and because of the poor quality and the angle it looked like EI-CIS.

Problem solved!  EI-CXS has just been up around the airport in Galway and is now routing back to Sligo.  Rescue 118 after all.

Not sure if you can brighten pictures with Paint.  I use Adobe Photo Eliments and PaintShop Pro.  Photo Elements is very good and the latest, Elements 5 is supposed to be brilliant altogether.
