Yesterday our crew were heading out to do some training between call outs and got to see the impressive Antonov aircraft taking off.

The crew is up to date with their training and ready for whatever the weekend had in store!

Assisted our colleagues in @PSNIFermOmagh yesterday, which included a transit over the Sperrins. Quite a lot of trees down, possibly the result from Storm Éowyn. Now with Storm Herminia on the way, please take care.

@benmel44 Our helicopter crews carry buoyant smoke and floatation devices. If people are in distress in the water we can drop the smoke to help identify them and floatation devices to help them until they are rescued. We can also drop the smoke to help our pilots when landing if required.

Today our observers and pilot were squeezing in valuable dropping of articles training between operational tasks, practising skills we hope we never have to use. Stay safe.

While on another tasking, the crew of Police45 snapped this image of a very cold looking Portmore Lough! Cold dips have grown in popularity over the last few years but in this weather please be sensible and always follow the advice from @HMCoastguard
