cork based air ambulance over baldonnel

[aw139]

Hi lads just wondering if anyone can tell me did the cork based Ec135 EI-KEL land in casement today at 15:40 or did she just do a fly over en route back to cork just seen her flying low level over Tallaght looked like she was on approach to casement.But could be wrong any information would be great.

Yep, saw a Ec-135 about 4-ish low level Clondalkin/Casement bit far off and weather was not great at the time

Ya Ascot 1960 it was a red Ec-135 thats what i though it looked like the cork based air ambulance, but as it flew over by house i lost sight of it then heard it doing a a turn but didnt see which way....
Hope fully someone can shine some more light on this,

Good evening lads,

This is not an air ambulance chopper. This is used purly for transporting crews to and from the Kinsale gas rig. The only reason that I would think it would be up your way would be if it was transiting back to the UK for maintenance in the UK.

Regards,

Paul

Evening Corkspotter thanks for the up date but she wasnt on her way to the uk she was heading inland towards the mid lands unless she was on her back from the uk and thats why she was up this way......

I've come across this machine transiting to the rigs a few times (not too close thank god!)
On the point of 135's, a couple of months ago I'm full sure I saw a British Police 135 transiting north along the M50.
Maybe the aul Mk1 eyeballs playing tricks but 99% certain it was black with yellow also.

Any info?

Was G-PSNI down this way?

Was G-PSNI down this way?

Wasn't into Bal anyhow. The black and yellow one I seen had come from N7/city west direction.
Maybe it was on the pad at Citywest Hotel?

There is a Black and yellow AS355 from the UK that has been used for checking power lines...
I haven't seen it in a while but heres a pic from a while back...
