Well, they _have_ been some VAT Hummingbirds on the UK register even if they are now on the N reg. I guess the way the CAA described them was little help to us searching, but check these for the evidence G-BVBD and G-BVBO.

However, I've had another brainwave.... About 6 miles east of Blackpool there is a guy who has recently acquired a UH-1H fresh from a big overhaul in the US and it was due in the UK "early this year" and expected to be reg G-UHIH (see lots more details on this at www.huey.co.uk ). The CAA have not registered that yet, but he may be operating it on an N reg for the time being? So...

Dark Green = yes
skids = yes
noisy = yes
high tail = yes
right location = yes
flat sides = yes
30-40 years old = yes
piston = no
