The machine was currently on loan to the Östersund department as their own helicopter, SE-HPY was undergoing some heavy maintenance as a result of an accident that occurred at this precise location near Christmas the year before.\\\\r\\\\nThe pilot of SE-HPY was forced to leave the aircraft on the mountain top due to freezing clouds. As the crew returned to the machine the next morning they discovered that the strong wind had blown the helicopter off the top, flipped it over and hurled it down along the slope a few meters. It had to be airlifted of the site helped by a Vertol 107 from the Swedish military.
