I would rephase your question, embellish it a bit more and maybe add any qualifications if any.

saying "I want to fly an L4" does not explain very much

Hi and thank you for replying.
I have no flight time at all, This is something I have wanted to do since the mid 70s when I saw an advert on tv.
I have contacted Heli air but they will not let me start the helicopter which is one of the things I want to do.
So I am trying every thing I can think of to for fill my bucket list.
Once again thank you for your reply

Thank you for your reply.
I have contacted them and they will let me fly one but not start it or hover and land it they say that I need to book ten hours of flying time to do this at a cost of £8.460.
I did speak to a company in Lester that will let me do this in a standard bell 206 at a cost of £550 puss VAT but its not the helicopter that I want to fly.
Once again thank you for your time to reply to me

The L4 was introduced in 1992. What you could have seen in the seventies was an L or L-1, maybe only a B.
As for the rest...:rolleyes:

I think you may struggle to find a owner/operator that will let you start up with no experience! The ten hours flying time would be the best 8k you have ever spent :)

Why not saving some more money to pay for 50-60 hours and do your PPL instead in it? :D
