well it certainly was not EI-ART that I saw. The hiller i saw did not have all of that cowling covering in the back. It was all open. In fact they used sanbags on the the machine just sitting on the back and the pilot I remember said he'd lost one into the water as he came dopwn the coast from dublin to rosslare. I do remember he was en-route to cardiff. I know that sounds incredible but I can remeber flying offshore to the lighthouse on occasions in their alouette EI-AUI, also a single and no floats or life vests!
