Many thanks for the information you have turned up on Farm Supply and in particular the images of the Hillers.
My information was very sketchy, just G-BEFY listed at Rainton. Looks to me that Felixkirk was the main centre of operations. I have not visited Felixkirk but it is a small private airstrip just outside Thirsk. Seem to recall operations started there some time in the 70s. Think Rainton was just a pad.
Interesting that the image of -BEFY shows the skid of what appears to be another Hiller parked alongside.
Hope some more details on Hiller operations appear in this excellent thread. Through the 50s, 60's and in to the 70s around 60 Hillers appeared on the British register. Together with the Bell 47s they pioneered commercial civil rotary flight in the UK.
