IrishHeliPilot, I am not rabbiting on about anything. The source that indicated this helicopter was used in power line work is the person who posted this photo;

Just read the caption.
What I found interesting was the fact that a German-registered helicopter was being flown commercially in Ireland. If it was a specialised helicopter like a KA-32 or Super Puma (being used for heavy-lift work, for example), it would be understandable why a foreign-reg helicopter was being used here, but when it is a standard airframe, with what appears to be no special equipment fitted, it just begs the question; Why? There is nothing sinister in my question and I am not trying to sh1t-stir.
It is good to see Executive Helicopters doing well with things like the power-line and fire-fighting contracts. Times are tough for any heli operator here at the moment.
