Title: CHC Irish Coast Guard S-61N's
Post by: Shamrock145 on March 26, 2009, 02:34:28 pm

Hi

A couple of quick questions to the brain trust

Which of the CHC S-61's is current based where

EI-MES is in EIDW but which ones are in Shannon, Waterford and Sligo

Also, I've done an image search on the site, and can anyone confirm if any of the fleet shown have had their liveries updated (from the site only GCE seem to carry a different livery)

Many thanks
