I have just put a brand new set of blades on to do a quick check flight before venturing out onto the Yorkshire Moors. After literally 5 minutes flight time just checking gps compass etc closed down to put it back in it’s hard case. This is what I found on 2 of the props. No I didn’t fly into anything and it looks more like delamination on one of the props. They are stored off the bird in a recess in the case. Looks like will be getting Master Screw as replacements...heard they are harder wearing. These are OEM as well!!

Looks like a prop strike of some sort, too much damage to have occurred in storage.
The OEM blades are pretty flexible so it surprising they would fracture without any impact.
 
No mate,
I can guarantee no prop strike. If propstrike then both tips normally damaged this I’d only one tip on each set

Your right, strange one, tips must have been bent/cracked in storage and then flew off under power
