Looks like the alloy fuel tanks ruptured and the fuel ignited during the crash sequence, probably ignited by a switch near the tanks. Sad thing is there are SB's to replace the alloy tanks with bladder tanks before Dec 2013, apparently only 10% of VH registered R44's have been done.

Dasher was here....
TWO men killed in a fiery helicopter crash during take-off from an airstrip on the NSW south coast were heading to nearby Jervis Bay to film a documentary.
David Bennett, president of the South Coast Recreational Flying Club, says he was standing just six metres from the helicopter when it crashed during take-off from the Jaspers Brush airfield, south of Berry, about 3.55pm (AEDT) on Saturday.
