Unless they go down within range of their own organic helos they do it another way.

200nm off the coast of Ireland puts them into the UK SAR region, and so that other way would be for the UK to launch SAR Ops to rescue them.

Just because the aircrew are still considered by some to be 'the enemy' they are not, and even if they were it is still the responsibility of the UK to save life in it's designated SAR region.
