At the conclusion of a SAR search, as the helicopter headed back to Shannon at 300 ft and 110
kts, a large black and white bird was seen directly ahead of the aircraft. The pilot took
evasive rolling action to his right. However, the bird impacted on the clear perspex panel
and broke it, just above the co-pilot position. In fact, two holes were created in the roof
forward perpex panel.
