The softer side of the Irish Air Corps
The softer side of the Irish Air Corps
From RTÉ, 15th Sept, 2010.
One of those warm fuzzy feel good stories.
Where medical procedures can't be carried out in Ireland, or where there is a long waiting list, the Air Corps are used to transport patients to the UK for treatment.
The family of this little boy return with him to say thanks to the flight crew.

Typical medical tourism. Come here to sponge off of the NHS and deny a British Citizen the treatment they need. Don't worry that's why we pay our taxes. Still a nice fuzzy story though.
Stay fuzzy.

Question; Whilst both tasked with defending island nations, which, the RAF or IAC, currently has an MPA capability? (A Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency Cessna 406 doesn't count BTW). Answers on a postcard please to Janes.
