What was the helicopter that just departed Coningsby? Thought it was a merlin but seemed a bit smaller

Flight Radar had a contact that went that way from the west callsign RNLAF 088 with no details, guess if not a chinook it would have been a Cougar.

That sounds like the Dutch NH-90 that was in Dublin.
