Elgin platform flights

I understand that there have been several "surveying" aeroplanes keeping an eye on what's happening about the Elgin platform gas leak in the North Sea.

Does anybody happen to know what types and operators are working over there at the moment?

Metman 146 is a no-brainer, Watchdog is simply any fisheries patrol aircraft I think? Rushton could be a BN2 or an F20 I believe?

Any idea of specific types and operators anybody?

A Dornier 228 is currently based in Aberdeen doing some, if not most of these flights. Not sure of the operator.
