Here is a link to a photo of this new helicopter, Eurocopter EC135 T2+ EI-ILS, that will be used on Lighthouse Support Operations here in Ireland. I believe it will directly replace the BO-105CBS EI-LIT currently in use. Not sure if the other BO, EI-BLD, will be retained for the next while or not. The EC135 officially starts work for the Commissioners of Irish Lights on the 1st of December 2008.

Can anyone outline the differences between an EC135T2 and the T2+ version? Is it just an upgrade in avionics or are more powerful engines fitted as well? Thanks.
