Agusta D-HCKV near Backbarrow / landed at Cark airfield.

On 2nd January 2000 this helicopter was being flown from Blackpool to a hotel at Newby Bridge towards the southern end of the Lake District. On board with the pilot were five passengers due to land at a proper helicopter landing site at the hotel. The pilot's route towards the hotel was across the Morecambe Bay estuary and to then fly up a narrow valley between Backbarrow and Newby Bridge. As he approached the valley the pilot noticed that the visibility ahead looked poor, he proceeded with caution but after entering much poorer visibility decided to turn around. As the helicopter made a right turn it flew into the tops of trees that had been obscured by cloud. The helicopter sustained damage to both rotors as well as the fuselage, tail and one of the stabilisers. Managing to remain in the air the pilot made a successful landing at Cark airfield.
