No main rotor blades on it either but no-one's suggested they came off in flight...

Lastest Rumour
Just heard that it has been stated post the Catterick crash ïf the RAF crash another puma no mid life upgrade". Well that should free up some funds for Army Aviation. No wait more hotels for the crabs.

Birds eh, how inconsiderate...The rear sliding cowling also appears to be missing..
perhaps it came off during the crash, perhaps in the air, if so that can ruin your day PDQ...
Glad the crew are safe and still about to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the mighty Puma!

MRBs smashed off, Blade Pins still in place. Pitch Links Broke. So it seems it was all together when it hit the ground.
Dog house likely came off when it rolled and the tail broke from looking at the damage around the FBSG and the broken TR Drive.

Interesting the cowling is missing , birds dont usually hit that part and I mind back in Ireland so many times of a cowling inspection pre flight being the norm introduced as one came off in flight.
Main thing is everyone got out

Glad they are alright
Glad all OK and a good job well done but how long before the Land funding reductions/JHC restrictions and reductions on Fg Hrs have a real effect on FS. Currency versus competency? All the boys and girls doing the best they can with the hrs they get but how many exemptions are being asked for? Only a matter of time before something serious happens.
