Helicopter down - Chagford, Devon, UK
 
Emergency services were called to Gidleigh Park Hotel, near Chagford, at about 1535 BST following reports of the crash.

Staff at the hotel said the aircraft had landed on its roof in a small wooded area in the grounds.

The two people on board, who were guests at the hotel, were later treated by an ambulance on scene for head and jaw injuries, fire crews said.

Sorry boys and gals currently on a train to go fly the OH6. However did take to the air on Dartmoor this morning blowing about 30 plus knots of wind. Gidleigh Park being underneath a hill can have some interesting winds
Hope everyone is ok
