Or if that's not big enough and you have the need to throw lots of pounds around...maybe a used Sikorsky S-70?

The Dauphin is quite a similar machine. I'm not looking to go much bigger but would like to come up the years to a 2000 OR 2004. I'm going to view an AGUSTA AW139 next week. Its an 04 machine and has been converted to a comfort 10 passanger.

That Agusta is about the same size as the S-70, and you're in the UK so a Westland mechanic will be easy to find.

I'm guessing it's one of those deals that if you have to ask, you probably can't afford one..

Come-on Sudesh, you know you want something distinctive. Go for a Hughie and then custom fit the interior. Just make sure you don't paint the exterior camouflage green and watch which border towns you fly over :-)

Personally I have several Helicopters, all of the Radio Control variety.
