Media Release: 2010 British Grand Prix gets off to a flying start

PATRIOT Aerospace has unveiled its plans to help Formula 1 fans beat the legendary Silverstone traffic with an exclusive helicopter shuttle service direct to the heart of the 2010 British Grand Prix.

Designed for those with a passion for motor racing who want to travel by executive helicopter transfer, beat the motorway jams and arrive at the British Grand Prix in style, Sir Peter Rigby’s new service is the smart way to get to the F1 event of the year, without getting caught in the crowds.

We’re delighted to be able to offer exclusive helicopter transfers to motor racing enthusiasts who want to make their trip to the Grand Prix just a little bit special,” said Mark Souster, group managing director of Patriot Aerospace.

“In addition to providing a luxury VIP shuttle service designed to get your enjoyment of the 2010 race off to the best possible start, this is the only way to guarantee that you are trackside when the flag drops and not elsewhere stuck in traffic.”
