Regarding lighthouses I do know the Irish have been operating an EC135T2+ for just over a year now on the lighthouses as a bolkow replacement. Registration EI-ILS. Watched part of an operation one day in Rosslare and apart from a very small boot and an angle on it that tends to let things fall out soon as you open the boot, at that time I did not hear any other negative comments about it. It was operating as a 7 seater including the single pilot. I just assumed the others (Trinity House and the Northern Lighthouse board) would use the same replacement and wonder if there some negative feedback on that EC135 as I cant imagine they would not have been paying close attention and consideration to its operation. Anyone heard opinions at all on that years worth of experience to date in the Irish scene?
