It's hard to tell. As this also includes type rating instructors in VIP, Offshore, Police and HEMS roles.
At a rough guess...there are about 20 PPL/CPL schools in the uk (ie R22/R44/Cabri), so at an average of 4 instructors per school, that means about 80-100 instructors who are working?
Although I think there are more people who have the FI rating but don't use it, or it's expired.
