"I wouldnt be buying new and have a budget of £100k so wouldnt need finance."
Matt - given your budget and forecast use (30 - 50 hours p.a.). I'd strongly recommend, instead of purchasing a machine solely for your own use, you either:
- SFH
- join a syndicate (Helidata regularly has advertisements for members)
- buy, but negotiate a leaseback deal with a local flying school (I did this with my first machine, an R22, and the profit covered a big chunk of my own flying time
)
