Irish Air Corps Pilots have been training on these aircraft since they were handed over to the Air Corps some time ago.

They will be flown in by irish pilots, as has always been the case in the past, though in some cases the Company's test pilot has accompanied them in an observer capacity.

IMO the roundel should be moved aft behind the door and placed on the main fuselage of the helicopter... having it on the door looks gammy

Strange that only 270 had floatation gear,perhaps the guys in 271 are good swimmers 'yikes'
 High vis national markings and low vis number a bit of a contradiction,does'nt make sense 'banghead'

I was passing Baldonnel today about 15.30 and saw EC135 270 and gazelle flying in formation heading kinda west,sadly was driving so no chance to get a few pictures  'banghead'
 270 really looks the biz,shame about the hi viz national markings though  'thumbsdown'

Well theyre primarily a training helicopter so a bit of high viz will do no harm, plus anything that states "hey i'm an irish helicopter" is good
