from the news attached to this pic, apparently the rob got tangled in wires, if you look carfully you can see remains of a telegraph pole right next to the big explosive flammable tank.

Jeta1 or Avgas sir!? Do you have a rewards card?

Hey Heliport...
Maybe this should be the thread for Neville's prize? A heck of a lot funnier than those two out by an EC120.
No offence Nev....
