The crew are lucky a piece of that matting didn't impact a rotor blade as they lifted off...
Lack of proper ground mat anchoring, by the look of that.
Hardly 'destroyed'. I was expecting a temporary building to be blown over at least.

Oh man. Someone’s gonna have to roll those mats out again.
I don't think that is the normal Helipad at Addenbrooke's, which is a large square patch on the south side of the hospital campus, in an open field.
The site in the video looks like a load of PSP loose-laid on the deck.
Most UK hospitals have their helipad on the roof, or in a section of a tarmac-covered car park.
Anyhow, nice to see the Osprey being used in daily flying - justifying the faith which was placed in the programme during the early days when teething troubles nearly sank the programme.
