Can anyone tell me who was the pilot of the Gazelle (serial: ZB 687) shot down near Clogher, County Tyrone on February 11th 1990?

I don't think anyone on here will tell you. Probably rightly so as well. The wars over, but its not is it, for many? Whoever it was, I hope they survived and I for one will toast them. HS.

Toast away :)
All on board survived, despite one being quite seriously injured.

Yes, according to Wikipedia there were thankfully no serious injuries.
Still on the subject of Op Banner, does anyone have any info about another helicopter incident in N.I. - briefly mentioned in Ken Wharton's excellent book 'Wasted Years, Wasted Lives: Volume 1' - in which a chopper came under sniper fire on October 4th 1977 at Jonesborough, such as what type of helicopter was targeted and to which squadron it belonged?
