The nearest self fly hire available (since I moved) is an hour and a half away by car.
If you live in Haywards Heath, then you have FAST Helicopters in Shoreham and Biggin Hill Helicopters in Biggin Hill, and i guess some operators round Redhill too. It does not take 1.5 hours to get to either of these places, unless you drive via Southhampton.
Maybe you should find a person who is willing to go in on a part share with you?
BTW Eastern Atlantic at Shoreham (Next Door to FAST Helicopters) sell New and used Enstroms
