NAME THE HELICOPTER COMPETITION

At the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance charity, we believe that such an important aircraft should have a spectacular name.

Therefore we would like to give the community the opportunity to come up with an exciting new name for the Air Ambulance. As you can see from the photo, the helicopter has a number of characteristics that could be used when choosing a name. The distinctive yellow colour, its paramedics clad in red and its ability to save people, plus many more. The name needs to be unique, appropriate and fun, and most importantly it should reflect that this air ambulance serves the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

The lucky winner will be invited to Thruxton Airfield, where our helicopter is based, to meet our air crew, be shown around the air ambulance, and to formally name the aircraft.

The competition will close on Wednesday 16th October, where the winner will be chosen by a committee of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance staff and volunteers. The winner will then be notified by the end of October.

To enter simply fill in the details below and send it to us at: Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton, SO14 5FP

GOOD LUCK!
