Rotorheads Around the World (incl 'Views from the Cockpit')
We're having a busy and varied week: this morning was an organ transplant ferry (in the 117) into The Alfred hospital, Melbourne's major trauma centre: worth the O'crack sparrow phone call 
Number One started...

The helipad is hidden under the nose: it is a huge elevated pad across the road at the bottom of the photo (taken by my passenger).
Here's a different angle to show the pad: we were approaching across the park from the left:

Redeye Picture Guesses
XT244 "it looks like scotland to me"
- Nope, miles out (several hundred in fact).
Next estimate?
Lightning_Boy "Looks like the Breacon Beacons to me, I could almost see my house!!!"
- Fraid not, slightly less miles out than XT244.
Clue, all UK.
1. There is a tower in the 1 o'clock position as viewed and a parachuting site in the 6 o'clock (behind).
2. Windfarms left and right range 6 to 10 nm and a lone NDB 3 o'clock as viewed range 17 miles
3. Give you this one, its North Norfolk (there very few clues but the hill was the googly),
4. Upper airspace radar station at around 2600ft amsl 5 o'clock and did I mention the thing to be avoided in front in the original clue?
Want to have anothger shot at the other three?

Finals to The Alfred:
Dear John (E),
Please excuse my asking but the approach seems very shallow and I am interested to know why, is it safety etc ? and what the approach profile should be.
FYI, I am only asking out of interest and I am certainly not experienced enough to even think about making an approach to a pad like that.
Thanks very much,
John

Shallow approach

The helipad is hidden under the nose: it is a huge elevated pad across the road at the bottom of the photo (taken by my passenger). I guess the roof may be what you're looking at, there isn't a pad there.
Here's a different angle to show the pad: we were approaching across the park from the left:
