    Yesterday I saw a large helicopter descending in a circular fashion near Birr. I’m almost certain it was IAC. I didn’t see it land as I live outside the town. Anyone know what it was doing?

    Was it one of the AW139s?

    It didn't fly close enough to see any markings, but I'm almost certain that was the type.

    It flew around in circles, lower and lower, untill it was out of sight.
