Heard it as well, ran out of the house but couldn't see it as trees were in the way. It sounded like it was quite low.

Passed over castlerock heading towards ballycastle. Got scanner going and they were picking up a casualty near the rope bridge. Dropped casualty off at coleraine hospital and was then tasked to Sligo to pick up mountain rescue team. Very busy day!
Edit: it was rescue 118.
