The Alouette has my vote (of the four Air Corps Helicopters listed) The other three are owned by Garda and Dept of Marine respectively!

Hey Cygnet! Yeah but the best time was when I beat the Helicopter up to Monaghan on my motorbike!
The A111 still is a great machine but I prefer the Puma!
Remember the bad snow of '82, we used to have a taxi service picking up and dropping off crews near to their houses and I seem to remember the 'Clipper' (RIP) availing of this service! We had a laugh up there as well! Living off Dairylea toasted sandwiches!
How are you keeping?

To me the Heli i love the most has got to be the Alouette, its just a brilliant helicopter and a real soldier, i love it! It will be a sad day when it leaves and is retired, it even sounds great. '<img'>

I really hope they keep one flying for Historic purposes! Or else i will be really sad '<img'>
