Have to admit, folks, this made me suspicious that someone was looking for an illegal charter of some kind - or some muppet wanted an underslung load lifting high.
A PM to the poster assures me that they are looking for an hour builder to do some mutual flying with.
If anyone finds anything different, please let me know.
For now, apologies to Andy for the mistrust.

No worries Keygrip, sorry for the minimalistic approach in starting a thread i was in a bit of a rush. Yeah the post was to find some mutual flying for a friend on helicopters for some hour building!
Position sorted now, thanks.
Whirly, isnt this forum for rotorheads, or am i missing something!?

You asked (and I posted) in Private Flying which tends to be very, very fixed wing oriented. Not many Rotorheads go in there and I only saw your post by chance on the front page.
Mod obviously agreed and moved it here!

So true ShyT, and we are welcoming to everyone; no private members' club here eh? 
What a fabulously mixed metaphor

Puzzled.
Why would anyone want an hours builder for mutual flying? If you wanted a safety pilot surely you'd ask for an experienced pilot?
Are they going to let said hours builder log the time, and so type rate him, and put him on their insurance as Captain? Why would anyone do that?
Sounds odd to me.

Not at all odd; I would have liked someone to share time with.
It's like this. Let's say I can afford one hour in a Schweizer and I need to return it back to base. That means I can fly for half an hour and return, not leaving Norfolk.
However, if I had a friend (and I don't
), I could fly for one hour, get out of the county and maybe even experience some hill flying (!), land, bacon-butty and chum could fly back. Cost split and we've both had the opportunity to go further afield.
Simples.
