They are American so it would be Robinson Inc.

Surely they must have a UK agent for parts service?

I would have thought only outfits licenced to work on Robinsons would be allowed to carry out such a repair.

You're asking on a car forum about having an aircraft repaired? Am I missing something?

Perhaps he reversed into a helicopter and is hoping to fix it before the owner notices.

A new windscreen for my (modest) boat is £1,000; hate to think what a chopper screen is frown

You should be able to get a used one.

Robinsons have a 12 year service life (at which point they can be rebuilt or scrapped) and quite a few do get written off, so I would imagine there'll be plenty of used spares specialists.

If you want new, try Tech Tool Plastics in Fort Worth - info@tech-tool.com I've bough screens from them (although not for Robinsons).
