500E hits container

After a quite recent ferry flight to Perth Western Australia a recently employed pilot was directed to land the 500E, (with a new set of main rotor blades), adjacent to a container near the hangar, the pilot got a bit close and the blades struck the container totalling all the blades and probably the drive train.

Wasn't me (thank goodness!!), currently having a rest from 500s, getting used to only having 2 blades again (and it's hard).
