Photos on Twitter show something that looks like a bell 47 in military colours at the side of a taxiway, but not that clear.

The Hull Daily Mail is saying it's a Gazelle, but their photo is an Alouette 2.

I'm not saying this is the same aircraft, nor am I assuming the crashed ac is AAC Historic flight. Purely posted for type comparison purposes.

I reckon this might shoot a bit of hole in the Anfi Theorem.

Yes it's a Alouette 11 HAPPC ex AAC with 4 plus pilot looks like a tail rotor failure but either way there was a accident. Pilot got to go by YAA to LGI. Other 4 by road. Plenty of broken bones but otherwise hopefully all well

No names but it was the larger fellow

Will update when more news from hospital

Helihub; Sid. That one is no longer white

Bleed-Air; Probably HA-PPC
This would be her at Garton, from this site Alouettes & Lamas - Aviafora


SE313B Alouette II HA-PPC (cn 1500) as seen near Garton on the Wolds in May 2016
Seen wearing her former Army Air Corps colours and XP967 registration.

Hope everyone recovers from their injuries.
Sad to see her in bits!
Flew XP967 extensively between 1981 and 1983 when she was with 16Flt AAC in Dhekelia, Cyprus. Hope she can be repaired and get back in the air again.
