Comments: The photo above shows the rotatable infra-red imaging pod on the left side of the front cabin, and the HF aerial on the right of the cockpit (Shannon, 31 August 2002). This Sikorsky S.61N, EI-RCG (c/n 61807), is one of four S.61Ns operated by CHC (Ireland) Ltd., formerly Bond Helicopters (Ireland) Ltd., under contract to the Irish Coast Guard (ICG) as medium/long-range Search and Rescue (SAR) and MedEvac helicopters. It was delivered to Shannon on or about 25 September 2001. This S.61N first flew in Norway as LN-OQB, and then was imported into the UK as G-BZSN.
