Always a shame to lose a helicopter in training accident. Heavy burden on the training pilot.
And especially when it is the newest one you've got.
HeliHub Airbus Helicopters? new AS332C1e is ready for duty

It's a 332C1e, a shortened utility version of the 332L
Nope! This is a Sud Aviation SA330J, which was the first in the Puma family. Ie it started it's life that short. The AS332C1 was a SA330 fuselage being modified/upgraded into the AS332C1 and later stretched to the AS332L models and so on.
The C1e is correctly the latest of the short version Superpuma, which is the fact with reg EI-SAO, but this is not the aircraft in question.
This is likely to be EI-SAI, s/n 1545
Fareast,
yep, and the ''snoopy-nose'' weather radar.

Yes, you can be sure that the crashed helicopter is not Super Puma EI-SAO.
EI merely means that the aircraft is registered in Ireland, that's all.
Look at the shape of the cabin windows, the sponsons, radar nose etc..
