NBP

The aircraft was NBP - I've been told the tail has been shown on TV.

I'm also told that the local media are beating it up, though that's a bit easier when headsets, a complete main rotor assembly and various bits and pieces can be found hanging in nearby trees. Apparently part of the floor including pedals is some distance from the fuselage and the skids are, as a unit, some distance from the remaining fuselage, which sits on it's side open like a tin or sardines.

I can't view clips from where I am, but I'm sure there's a link on one of the TV station websites.

Apparently the occupants are now stable.


I'm rather impressed by the maturity shown so far on this topic - 2 days and nobody's slagged anybody off, long may it continue!
