Thanks everyone, some very interesting ideas! I tested the recorder on another aircraft that my flying school uses and there was no whine whatsoever! I also took my gf up for a flight in the aircraft i was experiencing issues with and she plugged her headset into the same output(rear pax seat) and we could all hear the alternator whine through the headset (this is was with no recording gear), so it must be an issue with the intercom in the back!

I use a £17 action camera from a well-known auction web site. I removed the built-in mic from the PCB and put a 3.5mm socket in the case with leads to the PCB mic input. Again, less than a fiver. The video quality is pretty poor but I use this soundtrack in conjunction with higher quality video from a GoPro when editing. The whole cost of the audio setup including the camera was less than the GoPro lead.
TOO
sounds nice and cheap, i like cheap! thanks!

Do you get any issues with the rustling of the cable moving about though or you touching your headset?
