Whilst parked on apron aircraft was overturned by departing helicopter, Aerospatiale AS355N Ecureuil II G-OLCP. Per the official AAIB report into the accident:
"The accident occurred as the helicopter was departing for a local survey flight. The weather was fine but windy, with a surface wind of 26 kt from 230º. The helicopter was parked on a grass area adjacent to a hard apron, by which were situated the airfield’s fuel installation. Before the helicopter departed, a Cessna 152 had taxied to the installation for refuelling before shutting down.
Its crew, an instructor and his student, had vacated the aircraft and the instructor left the scene for a while, leaving his student at the aircraft.
The helicopter started, lifted into a hover and started to hover-taxi towards the runway, but as it did so, its pilot noticed the tail of the Cessna start to lift, so he landed again on the grass. The tail of the Cessna continued to lift and the aircraft came to rest inverted. The student pilot, whose upper body was inside the cabin of the aircraft as its tail started to lift, was able to move clear as it did so and suffered only a minor injury"
