Exclamation detachment

Apparently one TR Blade detached and flew across the apron and came to a stop 50m later in front of the main departure terminal. Good fortune not to hit anything or anyone, although I'm told may have clipped a couple of main rotor blades.

Also believed to be just out of maintenance.

Additionally Im told P2 shut it down as it came apart.

Now that the one picture is now available, come on guys give us more. Apparently every man and his dog were snapping away !

Spoke.
