About Us
Welcome to the Helibuddies - 5 individuals, living in 5 different counties in the UK who became friends through a shared passion for photographing (and videoing!) helicopters. Since coming together as a group in 2017 the Helibuddies have travelled extensively across the United Kingdom and beyond to photograph helicopters and to attend rotary themed trade shows & events. The Helibuddies regularly supply helicopter imagery to helicopter owners and operators, airport / airfield owners and media outlets.
