R22 incident Peterculter
Reported by BBC news, reported all OK thankfully.

Says happened at the end of a training detail.

Occurred about 1500BST.

Most importantly ,very pleased that they are both OK .

Much less importantly , sad to see my first helicopter (G-RIAT) in that state.Owned it from new for 3 years before going to an R44. Hope it is repairable.
