The PSNI chopper apparently did some monitoring/evidence gathering, but it was definitely R177 came in to do the casevac.
 
Don't know if anybody heard of the circumstances!! A sensible individual decided to take p*ss off the edge of the cliff and needless to say his "spatial awareness" capabilities were a little bit out of sync and apparently he did a nose dive.

So he didn't pee on them by mistake...... ;D

Seriously though - the times i've witnessed young children running around,peering over the cliff edge at Portrush while some parents sat smoking and/or chatting on mobile phones oblivious to the danger.Accidents happen,but some happen needlessly.

Diff a Prestwick Seaking picture of it getting the patient loaded on at Portrush in the News Letter on Monday.
