Helicopter appeared to lose power on final approach and landed very heavily just short of the helipad. Location was adjacent to an earth bank, which the main blades hit. Fuselage creased on aft starboard side, and images show oil as having leaked from the engine – but it is not known whether this was prior to after the impact.
Local reports suggest pilot experienced a problem on climb out and went round to land again, but did not quite make the pad as the engine “flamed out”
