Heavy, aborted takeoff, stopped and turned out of any wind while still 'way out of ground effect. Settled with power, kept pulling the NR down so consequent loss of tail rotor authority and uncontrolled rotation. Might have made it without that pesky van in the way.

Thought the takeoff point was the football pitch, and the paddock with van was just a convenient place to crash.

mexico, previous ride might have been a 407, and he would have gotten away with it in that.
