saerch and rescue demonstration in Cobh
Sunday, June 20th, 2010I went down to Cobh yesterday to see a major search and rescue demonstration. The Naval Service, Air Corps, Coastgard, RNLI, Gardai, Fire Brigade, MART, Port of Cork, lots of volunteers and more put on a fantastic show. They demonstrated some of the many possible ways people can get into trouble on the water (and even on land) – everything from kyaking and jetskiers ending up in the water, to fishing vessels going on fire. The Coastguard helicopters and the Air Corps Casa did several fly bys, with the Casa dropping a life raft on one pass. I took lots of photographs and videos. Enjoy!
My thanks to everyone involved for a brilliant demonstration.
