With the current spate of wildfires in the Wicklow mountains and throughout the UK, I was wondering if the AC has ever been invloved in firefighting missions.
Does the AC posess "bambie buckets" for use with their helis ?
If so, have they ever been in use fighting fires ?
I saw a Bell 206B in the times, Celtic and almost every other Irish civili operator uses that type, wonder if they could be picked up as interim Gazelle replacements
