With every other machine on the ramp facing into wind, it begs the question why the S76 is downwind and whether that exacerbated the problem?

There were certainly plenty of flames at the beginning of the video, before being overtaken by the smoke billowing around the head and the cockpit area. I can't help but think that if it were facing into wind it would have been less dramatic and also easier to contain.
