We all know that once you have a bit of time under your belt, and know people in the right places, you can 'make your own deal'. If it's helicopters you're desperate to fly, my thoughts would be to finish IOT, then start looking into moving over to Navy/Army. There are plenty prior examples of people doing this, even for those who were over the max age and in an RAF ground branch. It might be you need to see out your RoS on RPAS, but that's no bad thing.
