Termonfeckin plane crash report turns out to be false alarm: Coastguard helicopter and Lifeboat search called off after two hours

Clogherhead Lifeboat and the Irish Coastguard helicopter and boats spent two hours searching the sea off Termonfeckin and the mouth of the Boyne yesterday after a member of the public reported seeing a light aircraft ditching into the sea.

A spokesman at the Irish Coastguard Service’s Dublin Rescue Centre said there had been a couple of light aircraft in the area flying at low altitude during the afternoon but none had been in radio contact with them and none had been reported missing by any of the local airfields or flying clubs.

The 999 call from the member of the public was received at approximately 3.15 pm and both the Coast guard and Clogherhead Lifeboat rushed to the scene where they searched until approximately 5.30 pm when the search was called off with nothing being spotted in the water or on the shore.
