Here are the options I can think of:-

- HeliPortugal have/had UK links - they were owned by Bond at one time and certainly traded 500Es via March Hc (in fact the wrecked shells of two such ex-Portuguese 500s lie outside their hangar right now!!) www.heliportugal.pt They are largely an AS350 operation these days.

- Don Milne who used to live near Aberdeen had an N reg 500E and moved out to Spain last year and flies around a lot - if you can track him down, he may help. (Yes, I know it's not Portugal before someone tries telling me :-) ) Possible contact via March Hc who used to maintain that 500E here

- PDG Helicopters had/have links with a Madeira based pleasure flight operation called Heli Atlantis - perhaps call PDG in Inverness - Madeira being Portuguese owned.

- what about one of the local operators like www.omni.pt or www.helibravo.com and there's probably more if you look at rotorhub.com and find their Portugal page

What's this about a Hiller - do you own N62171 which was at Sherburn the other day???

Cheers
