Nice to hear that everyone got away with it. Does look more like a runaway ride on mower though. It would be good if someone could ID the machine type, without causing any problems for anyone, of course. Purely out of personal interest.

Looks like an H/S300 to me.

269

I think it's an early 269 A model. I am not a spotter, honest.

Spoke to the pilot, he let the rrpm get to low and the tail rotor lost its authority
