Hello Mark

Been interesting to follow this.... Sounds like a good thing you're doing there. I'd just like to clarify something you stated earlier, namely:

"I am not a training organisation. I am a flight instructor who is using my skills and expertise to help others"

I was under the impression that for heli flight training, it had to be conducted from a CAA authorised flight training organisation (and from a licenced airfield). If that's right, is the training you're doing legitimately recognised by the CAA and the training hours logged in the logbooks valid for when the guys are ready to take their flight test and be issued their licences?

Do they have to pass the class 1 medical before you commence any training?

Also, are you a registered charity? Your website states this in the header:

""Wings for Warriors are currently awaiting UK charity status. Our aim is to train injured service personnel as commercial pilots.">"
