greenfox:
i am from spain and i did my PPL(H) in aukland with heliflight, loved it there, even though i went to melbourne to finish my commercial because you only need 125 hours i sometimes regrete not having finished in heliflight, you can do with them mountain flying, sling loads and NVFR
i can put you in touch with an instructor there, he's a good friend of mine.
good luck
PD: just be aware for the conversion of the hours back into europe, i don't know the UK but one frined of mine is going throu hell to have his hours accepted in spain.
