There was plenty of helicopter problems, they were already starting to wind down flight operations. They were officially going to be retired in Nov this year, so they were only 18 months early. As to the 'cut up and buried' the airframes are valueless they are carbon fibre so cant even be melted down. They are not currently cut up or buried, the 6 or so stripped airframes are sitting in a carpark, (seen photos didn't specifiy where but)
