The current edition of 'Flying in Ireland' magazine has a small article about the recent sale, to a UK lifting and fire-fighting company, of the GASU Twin Squirrel. The article states that the heli cost c.€3 million back in 1997, when all the specialist police equipment fitted to it is taken into consideration.
Needless to say all such specialist equipment was removed before the sale.
The sale price is rumoured to be c.€400,000.
