Weasel would you care to elaborate a bit? Seems to me like there is a bit more than Bristow out there.
HillerBee thanks for those two, I had never heard about Algarve Helos, there isn't much on their website really.
In the meantime I have found Helicoptersprague in Czech Republic, Superiorair in Greece and another FTO in Latvia... am still inquiring about their Initial Type ratings on ME.
