Scout AH.1 XP890 was badly damaged when a civilian Bell 47G-4 Sioux (G-AXKT of Bristow Helicopters) carried out an autorotative landing on top of the Scout at Middle Wallop, Hampshire. Miraculously none of the four occupants of both aircraft was badly hurt.
The Bell 47G was written off and the Scout was sent for repair. This was cancelled and it was put into store at Wroughton, eventually being cannibalised for spares during 1987
