It was due to Rotor Growth - similar to Swept Wing growth when taxiing - Distance to the hangar varies between 4ft and 24ft every 90 degrees of rotation.

It's not my fault. The light-gray and light-blue hangar lacked conspicuity against the broken cloud behind it.

Hoskins was glad this type was not required to have a CVR or FDR . However the armchair quarterbacks on PPRuNe had it resolved within 24 hours. The AAIB report was just a cut and paste

At the Battle of Britain show the AAC felt they had covered all safety features so the visitors could see what it was like to sit in a helicopter. However had failed to reason that Hoskins was once a 7 year old child

The mash up of the TV show “Top Gear” with the TV Reno show “Clean Sweep” was deemed to be unbelievable.....

From the report of the policeman flying it:

"As I was allegedly taxying along the alleged taxiway, a black dog was seen to emerge from nowhere, and when I swerved to avoid hitting said black dog, I came into contact with an alleged stationary hangar which was travelling in the opposite direction. NFA, NCH."**

As there are so few 'new' aircraft on the market Airfix look to the real world for inspiration for new models for the Christmas market.
