Yeah, definitely try it on first. The 46 is a monster, and even the 43 wears large because of the lugs. Chrono24 is probably your best bet for preowned.

IWC big pilot under £5k is never going to fly. Cheapest one on c24 in the UK is £6.3k. You may get it down to 6k, but not under 5.
Pilot Mark XVIII or XX in IWC.
Longines does nice flyers for even less, if you are open to explore other brands.
As to where, that would depend on your experience with watches. If you’re new to watch buying, I’d definitely do a first visit to an official retailer to see and try on the watches in person.
I’ll let UK people advise on reputable second hand stores.
