EI-MES (Irish Coastguard helicopter), Bangor (March 2007)
The rescue helicopters operated by HM Coastguard, the Irish Coastguard (“ICG”), the RAF and Royal Navy are all available to assist in sea rescue whenever and wherever needed. This Sikorsky S.61N (EI-MES) is landing at the Long Hole beside Bangor harbour. Fortunately the weather was somewhat better than four days earlier J5082 : The Long Hole, Bangor (4).
