Helicopter insurance costs in the UK

I have just got my insurance premium for next year and it has gone up again by 13% despite having an extra years no claims discount to add. Am I being ripped off or does everybody else pay huge amounts in the UK?

Are there any lower cost brokers out there, from what I gather there are only about 3 firms at Lloyds covering helicopters, all the others want to cover planks.

Statistically, are we more likely to crash than a plank? Personally I think I have more chance of getting down in 1 piece than most planks that need 300 clear yds to land in.

I only fly about 50 hours a year for pleasure and my insurance is working out at £90 per hour!
