I know it's not helicopter related but contains an excellent piece of advice in the Conclusion.
Synopsis
The aircraft, which was for sale, was being flown with the aircraft commander in the right seat and the prospective purchaser in the left seat. The commander performed a normal touchdown on Runway 27 at Guernsey. As the aircraft rolled along the runway the pilot in the left seat offered to raise the flaps but inadvertently raised the landing gear. The aircraft sank onto the runway and veered to the right stopping on the edge of the runway.
Conclusions
The accident illustrates the need to confirm that the correct switch or lever is identified before operating it.

Sale concluded, by the sound of it.
