Fast at Thruxton ( 01264 772508 ) are £145 + VAT which works out at £170ish wet. £200ish dual, I think ( inc. VAT ). If you're not a member you'll need a check out.

I also saw something in Flyer, an advert for £100 + VAT, unsurprisingly £117.50 p/h wet. The company is "Rotorvation Helicopters", 01322 862289, based M25/M20 - is that Stapleford, anyone ? R44 is £225 + VAT = £264ish.

Tiger Helicopters, Herefordshire. 01568 708028. Prices for Self fly hire vary depending on hors booked 114-134 per hour plus VAT. Also very helpful people, just looking onto learning and they were excellent.

[Vortex what...ouch!]

I am returning to the UK soon and will be based in London (living inn Victoria probably).

So I need some info on Self fly hire for R22/44 and B206. Anybody know some good places around London that are worth looking at?

Thanks in advance.

The idea of not being able to stop before I land is scarey.

Heli Air @ Denham Aerodrome 01895-835899

(Sorry guys!)

[Flying Lawyer]

I agree. I'd also recommend HeliAir @ Denham.
It takes about 30-40 mins from Victoria depending upon traffic - and police activity!

London Helicopter Centres at Redhill 01737 823514 highly recommended. R22s, 44s, 206s AS350 and 355, other bits and bobs. About 20 miles south of Victoria, 5 miles N of EGKK

Redhill is a great airfield. Trouble is if you live in right in the centre of London, it's the worst airfield to get to by car. The route through South London and the rest of the A23 is one of the worst roads in the country and is bad even at weekends in the summer because it's also the route to the South coast.
Otherwise, slow train to Redhill and taxi to the airfield - then you have to call a taxi out to get back to the station.
Great when you get there, but a pain travelling.

Takes me 45 mins, 30 on the m/c. Rat runs follows H7

[Whirley]

Can anybody tell me where the cheapest solo rates are in the u.k at the moment, i believe it still tiger heli's in shobdon

[Whirlybird]

Haven't heard of anywhere cheaper. But they do have a list of things you can't do - includes autos, downwind quickstops, sloping ground landings, and I think more but I can't remember. But yes, very probably the cheapest hire rates.

Many thanks

[The Nr Fairy]

There's another operator just south-west of Exeter - www.ahhelicopters.co.uk - or is that further from Dulverton than Bideford ?
