Hiller UH12c buying advice?

I have just noticed that a helicopter (a Hiller UH12c) I saw for sale last year that got me really serious about getting my PPL(H) has re-appeared and is still for sale.

Quite co-incidently a colleague of mine has also just seen it and is very interested in purchasing it.

His thoughts were to purchase it, keep it at Newcastle Airport, use it for his PPL(H), then fly for pleasure afterwards.

I was just wondering what the pit falls and costs might be buying and running an 'older' aircraft, housing it at Newcastle Airport and using it to train in?

Any thoughts appreciated.
