This was the second one in a week! Last week the CASA found a Trawler that was on fire and directed the coastguard S-61 onto it to winch the crew off. At least that time the photos made it to the press and were acredited to J.H the 105 Sqn photographer who took them.

Air Corps PR missmanagement?
I know, it's back to this old story, but if the PR section within the Air Corps would subbmitted some pictures /footage/ and some storyline to Irish mass-media, situation could be different, I think.
Now, having said that, I don't know wheter this was done or not...
