Photographs of a dramatic helicopter rescue in the mournes is being raffled off to raise funds for the teams involved.

Allistair Hamill has donated the image of Slieve Berneagh, with tickets being sold through an online donation.

The image shows the upper slopes of the mountain from the summit of Slieve Binnian.

An A3 framed print features Rescue Helicopter 999 from Preswick shining a light on the rescue efforts below.

More than £500 has already been raised in the online drive.

To enter the draw people have been asked to make a £2 donation on a fundraising page ahead of the draw on 2nd June.

Two runner up prizes are also available.

It's hope the initiative could raise several hundred pounds for Mourne Mountain Rescue Team.
