This helicopter had a mishap in-flight when the engine cover came adrift and crashed into the rotors; fortunately the pilot landed safely. Its currently awaiting a decision from an insurance company on whether its worth repairing or scrapping. The rotors were beside the fuselage with deep gouges where the cover had connected with the rotors.
