Airbus Helicopters EC135 T1 crash near Bilsdale, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

While landing at an unmarked site adjacent to a television mast, the helicopter’s downwash disturbed a metal object which caused damage when it was ingested into the fenestron tail rotor. The pilot felt a jolt, together with vibration through the tail rotor pedals, but retained control and landed normally. EC135 T1, G-NWPS 04-16
