Leading aircraft charter specialist, Air Charter Service (ACS), was proud to support the GWCT’s charity event at Sandringham in honour of HRH the late Duke of Edinburgh.
“As the aviation sponsor for The Duke of Edinburgh Memorial Challenge, we’re delighted to have been a part of such a fantastic and successful day,” says Global Director of Private Clients, Oli Foss. “The event was a celebration of the British countryside and a brilliant way to honour the late Prince Philip’s conservation work.
“While the majority of us recognise the Duke of Edinburgh for his dedicated service alongside Queen Elizabeth II, not everyone may be familiar with his lifelong passion for conservation and his involvement with the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust.
“For more than 50 years, he worked closely with the UK’s leading independent wildlife research charity, supporting agricultural and species preservation, and expanding wildlife accessibility across the nation. Learning that the event raised an incredible £330,000 to continue this mission was truly heartening.”
ACS were at Sandringham Estate to set up and maintain the helipad for guests arriving at the charity event via helicopter. Many of these guests flew from London – a journey that took just 30-45 minutes, approximately three hours quicker than travelling the same journey by car.
“A helicopter charter presents an excellent solution for optimising travel time within the UK, especially when your final destination is a remote location, like Sandringham Estate,” Oli continues. “A helicopter can seamlessly transport you from the middle of a concrete jungle like London and whisk you away to a remote field in the heart of the British countryside. As long as there’s space, flat land, and you have the landowner’s permission, take-offs and landings are feasible in nearly any desired location.
“The opportunity to partake in clay pigeon shooting at the royal grounds of Sandringham Estate is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, to be able to experience that was something special.
“We are honoured to support the GWCT’s incredible charitable work and look forward to sponsoring future events.”
