personally i would not touch them with a bargepole but try and ask local pilots/examiners , local engineers responsible for repair and servicing and ex staff and students
some below this list is short but there are many more ie.
you might try and ask some ex members of staff
ex CFI PH
ex administrator Ah
ex examiner Gd
ex engineer GB
you might try
local examiners IK and HS
or try some local pilots
sa
sc
gw
ap
gs
dc
gk
or try ex sherburn chairman helicopter pilot/owner

I saw the R22 involved in the hangar at Walton Wood today, looking a bit forlorn (minus tail and rotors - not much of an R22 when you take all that away ....)

I believe that the r22 had Mike Green sat in it doing a AFIC test or FI renewal with the blades running when the R44 started up and bang.
Of all ther people to bang rotors with.

The NR Fairy and cyclic flare are talking about the same Mike Green.
I know another Mike Green who was taught by Mike Green who was working for FAST.
The non CAA Panel Examiner "Mike Green" is flying the country in a shiny EC135.

MD 600,
Sorry mate,
I take exception to your comments and list of disgruntled pals.
Having flown with Hields for years I cannot criticise them in any way.
I guess some people wait for incidents like this, and take their chance to stick the boot in.
Shame on you.

my answer was to eoincary . It was not sticking the boot in as you put it.
it was a my own opinion and i stand by it, you may have had good relations but so many have not i did not mention the amount of accidents or any thing like that i will do if you want
but i have been told to shut up or they will send a very large man round to sort me out
the police have been informed

AAIB report
Summary:
On the morning of the accident a pilot parked an R22 at the refuelling area. Later another pilot parked an R44 next to the R22. Later in the morning the pilot/instructor of the R22 who had earlier parked the R44 next to the R22, briefed his student to go out and pre-flight and start-up the R22. Just prior to lift off there was a sudden bang and a massive vertical vibration. The main rotor blades had contacted those of the R44 which had just started up. The pilot/instructor, who had parked the R22 earlier in the morning, was tasked to fly the R44 with another pilot for a conversion flight. The conversion pilot carried out the external pre-flight check. As part of this check he rotated the main rotor blades through 180° to ensure that there was sufficient tip clearance from the adjacent R22. At this time the R22 had not been started up. The instructor returned, completed the internal checks and proceeded to start the R44 when the main rotor blades contacted those of the now running R22. Since this accident the operator has painted measured parking spots in the refuelling area
