Droopy;

The helicopter was parked and was caught in the midst of a violent wind, with associated dramatic water spouts. This obviously caused rotation of the rotor which contributed to the damage but they were not running as in "rotors running with power on". I flew to the site for recovery and after setting it on its' gear again, it was lashed down and the ship returned to Nfld., where the a/c was declared a writeoff. It was the only C model we had.
