And what’s the deal on that helo in some of the video - looks like a dual-rotor helo to me, and that’s not what the TV news crews fly.

Chinook. Apart from being a lifter, the Chinook is also (according to the UK Royal Navy) *the* best dipping sonar/ASW platform there is. So in a scramble to find a hiding diesel sub, it would be a natural.

Looks like a high wing aircraft to me, probably a Cessna 210 or other RG model since no fixed landing gear are visible.
