R44 accident yesterday at Sywell

I have read of an R44 accident at Sywell yesterday, Thursday 1st December.

It states -


'G-ODHG Robinson R44 lifting off from Sywell apparently lost control and ended up on it's side on the Sloane ramp this morning. Pilot shaken but OK.
Damage includes bent rotor, cabin, right skid and tail boom'.


My R44 and my PPLH are both less than a month old.

Reading these reports scares the hell out of me because it could have been me.

I had hoped to fly yesterday but decided that the weather here near Banbury wasnt good enough for my limited experience.
