Yes it was REL, the Red RW, I had sold it to a local friend and he was meticulous re belt tension etc, It appears that one of the belts broke, we are still waiting for our CASA to attend and inspect. He had a non eventful flight 2 up and had finalised his approach to his landing area and as it came back into the hover he applied right pedal then it began to turn as he then applied all right pedal but it did not stop approx 6 rotations then he lowered collective to touch the ground and one skid grabbed and spun and then it rolled over, but the occupants were ok the harness kept them secure, they exited through the broken screen and managed to clear the damage then they saw petrol leaking out so that was dealt with that everyone was unhurt but the RW is a complete right off with maybe a few parts still OK.
