Helimed returned to MLK a short time later but no other details heard.

Nothing about it yet on the BBC, sometimes takes them days to catch up.

I did a playback on FR24, there was a Vulcanair P68 OY-SYS doing some survey work in that area at the time as BIO08, but then HLE23A G-NHEM entered the area.

BIO08 then headed for Antrim, so it looks to me as what ever came down did not have a transponder, or was too low for FR24 to pick it up. Whatever has happened, I hope no one was hurt.

FB report says two occupants, both walked away. But no more detail than that.

Yes, he was all over the place today, and at the time of the incident he was up in that area and helped locate the scene of the accident.
When Helimed 23A arrived he was stood down and returned to his task.

The aircraft in question was yellow if that's any help
I didn't hear any registration being passed, as I only started listening too late .

Confirmed both pilot and passenger  walked away safely with no injury after engine went out mid-flight.  Had to use a hedge to bring aircraft to a stop due to cows in field.

Aircraft was Thruster T-600N Sprint - G-RAFH
