JHC let down UK public
ITV Teletext states:
SWIMMER CRITICAL AFTER RESCUE
A swimmer is in a critical condition after he was rescued by an Irish Army helicopter near Portstewart harbour.
The Irish Army search and rescue helicopter was called to rescue the barely conscious man who had been knocked against cliffs by huge waves.
He was flown to Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry where he is being treated for suspected head injuries.

RAF Puma rescues British citizen off the British coast!! There must be 30+ helicopters in Northern Ireland and the IAC did the job and get the medals. Does the RAF not do winching any more? Portstewart is not even a border town, and this UK taxpayer was let down by their own. Nevertheless, thanks is due to the Dauphan? crew whose international exploits are appreciated.
