You've got to give them 10 out of 10 for the crash landing, they even got it in the skip, how thoughtful!

Ah ha! I've worked it out.
This must be the way to make a Robinson R44 more valuable.
Throw it in a skip and auction it off as a contemporary piece of art by Damien Hirst.

Clever!!!

(either that or it was formerly owned by Christiano Ronaldo!)

'My right honourable colleague the Secretary for Defense informs me that there are some teething problems with the new, uprated, armour plating for our new attack helicopter but reports that UK forces in Afghanistan are under-equipped in comparison to NATO allies are completely false.'

Right where it belongs

"Hey boss, you want me to wash the Robbie"?
"Na, skip it, we've gotta get going"

Hey, a bit of duct tape and a bash it out with a flat rock, we'll send it to Aus, they'll muster a season or two with it then send it off for maintenance!.

The perfect hangar for a robbie

Yeah that should buff right out!

So let us all get this straight Frank, the delamination was caused BY the accident?
