Additional Details:
A Bolkow BO 105 DBS helicopter, piloted by Capt. Mick Conneely, provides vital support to Irish lighthouses, including slinging supplies to Rathlin Island. Helicopters were introduced to the Lighthouse Service in 1969, with Fanad serving as a land base for lighthouses such as Tory Island and Inishtrahull.
