Mayday on Scottish Info (119.875) today

Was in the Stirling area earlier this afternoon as a passenger listening on 119.875 and heard a Mayday in progress; didn't catch the full reg., aircraft type or what was wrong but FE were the last two letters in the reg and last we heard they were heading for Cumbernauld.

Hope all is OK; let us know if you are.

Believe it was a Cherokee 140 or something similar. Rough running engine. As far as I am aware it made it safely to Cumbernauld.
