DARTMOOR, England, May 11 (UPI) -- A British military helicopter scored a conclusive -- and apparently accidental -- victory against a swarm of portable toilets by sending the potties flying.

A video posted to Twitter by @phi7r shows the Royal Navy's Merlin helicopter transporting a canon in Dartmoor in the run-up to the Ten Tors military challenge, a competition run by the military for members of the public.

The chopper flies over a row of portable toilets and the down-draft from the vehicle sends the small cabins flying off in multiple directions while onlookers laugh. Rolls of toilet paper can be seen flying high in the air.

The incident took place last week, prior to Saturday's start of the challenge.

The toilets were unoccupied at the time of the incident.
