One of the Irish Coastguard’s Search and Rescue helicopters flying past Letterbreckaun (Binn Bhriocháin) in March this year, on a morning when most of the mountains in Connnemara were lightly dusted with snow. Letterbreckaun is 667 metres tall and is part of the Maumturk mountain range. The low altitude would suggest that the helicopter was probably engaged in a search operation.
