This is the only site that mentions the destruction. Call Helicentre Aviation?! (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/planespotting/id1367589571)

....and nothing on the AAIB website. Could it go unreported if it was destroyed while not flying? (e.g. sitting on the pad and a lorry reverses into it?)

Technically, yes as it’s not an accident for the purposes of a Reportable Accident.

For those who know who Helitrain are...they shut up shop a few weeks back. Paperwork error rather than hull loss?

The helicopter rolled over during an into-wind landing on the student’s second solo flight. The student was not familiar with the cyclic response and correct trim with the instructor absent.

Few other heli incidents listed too: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/aaib-record-only-investigations-september-october-2019/aaib-record-only-investigations-reviewed-september-october-2019
