Work for the over 60s

I was too selfish about wanting to fly to become an instructor when in the services. Now, I would like to instruct and pass on my dangerous habits and dare I suggest the odd tit-bit of wisdom and experience which has allowed me to become an old and bold pilot. However, the route to become an instructor seems tortuous and expensive. It has always bothered me how the most inexperienced pilots use instructing to build up their hours. I was heading for Flight Safety at one moment but they seem undecided on their helicopter simulator future. I'm not averse to ground instructing and not too far from Oxford so perhaps I will investigate. The ideal might be to find an owner of a decent aircraft/helicopter who wants their hand-holding/reassurance as they build their experience.
