Air Sea Rescue Demonstration
3pm
Don’t be alarmed if you see a rescue helicopter hovering into view at about 3pm on Sunday. That’s just our friends from the Irish Coast Guard and the RNLI’s Lough Swilly Lifeboat carrying out an air sea rescue demonstration. Should they be called out on duty elsewhere, this event will understandably enough not take place.
