News report - helicopter catches fire at Wycombe Air Park 22 Jul 2019

https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/new...ombe-air-park/
A helicopter caught fire at Wycombe Air Park yesterday evening.One appliance and crew from High Wycombe Fire Station attended the blaze at around 6.30pm on Monday, July 22.Firefighters used one hose reel to put out the blaze with the helicopter being grounded at the time.No-one was on board the vehicle, no injuries were reported and it is unknown what caused the fire.
Sounds a bit odd - anyone with any more info on a/c type or circumstances?
