Sothern Helicopters Ltd are the import agents fro Rotorway within the UK.

I wouldn't touch this one with a 40 ft bargepole either! The current owner bought it and then tried to teach himself to fly it without training - with obvious results.

Last I heard was that the Permit to Fly had lapsed and that it needed a lot of repair work to bring it back up to an airworthy standard. This, I'm told includes some serious welding repairs to the main airframe. (at least this is why the last Ebay sale fell through - it may have been repaired since but I don't think so)

It's a great shame because it was a nice helicopter before the latest owner got his hands on it.
