Reported that they were trying to get to Machrihanish. Bit of scud running flew through some 60 ft trees taking the blades off. A/C slid on for 200 -400 yrds completely disitegrating as it went. Sounds like the A/C took most of the energy out of the impact. Apparently it looks more like a 22 configuration than a 44!!

Very, Very lucky their injuries aren't far worse.

Speedy recovery guys.
