AW139 in Mountain Rescue.
« on: February 10, 2009, 10:16:01 pm »
The T.V. and papers are reporting that Air Corps, Coastguard and RAF helicopters all participated in a rescue operation to save two lost climbers from the Wicklow mountains today. One casualty was brought to Tallaght Hospital by AW139 while a second was transported by S-61N. The RAF Sea King brought a Mountain Rescue Team from Wales. The Evening Herald reported that a pair of AW139s dropped a group of Rangers (as many as 50) into the area yesterday to assist in the search. It's good to see the Irish Air Corps still involved in the rescue business.
