Helicopters near London
Hi,
I have an enormous passion for helicopters and just arrived in London. I would like to know where I might be able to approach some helicopters and have a talk with their pilots ?
Thanks a lot

Sadly I'm just in London for a week
I think the guys at HQ Aviation Denham used to allow people to look around their aircraft, and are certainly passionate and knowledgeable about what they do, but probably worth a call first to avoid a wasted trip just in case.
There's also HeliAir at Denham, who you could perhaps approach, plus I think there are a couple of helicopter filming companies there too.
I'm sure there are other companies at different airfields around the outskirts of London as well, but again probably worth a call first, as some places are likely to have a policy of absolutely no access to their hangars for non-employees/customers.
You'd probably get bigger aircraft at Battersea...but, I suspect hefty parking fees once the aircraft are on the ground more than 15 minutes might limit your chances of actually approaching aircraft/pilots.
Hope this helps!

Try Redhill,
They have London Helicopter Centres, EBG Helicopters, Arena Aviation, Rotormotion, The Air Ambulance, the PAS for down that way, and a couple of private Gazelles dotted here and there.
Look them up and e-mail/ring first though as you never know how busy each outfit is, or how willing they are to let you poke about.
