Looks like R118 from Sligo has made the news.

It has emerged the Sligo-stationed R118 helicopter – which is a familiar sight over Derry and Donegal where it often responds to emergency incidents – experienced problems on Sunday, February 5.

An Irish Coastguard helicopter had to make an emergency landing at City of Derry Airport after suffering a ‘serious incident’ in flight, it has emerged.

The aircraft was overstressed, lost control and exceeded its maximum airspeed. The UK Civil Aviation Authority has impounded the aircraft to conduct a full investigation.
