TWO Daily Echo readers will be taking to the skies by helicopter after winning our competition.

Catherine Oliver and Lara Gillespie have each won a pair of tickets courtesy of Bliss Aviation.

To celebrate the start of the company’s pleasure flight services next month, we teamed up with them to offer two pairs of tickets for Saturday December 3, from Bournemouth Airport.

Bliss Aviation was formerly Bournemouth Helicopters and has been operating from Hurn for more than 20 years. The flights will take the lucky winners for a tour along the beautiful Dorset coastline on a 20 minute trip.

Lara said she was “super excited” to have won tickets.

“I really wasn’t expecting it. I think it’s a great idea what Bliss Aviation are doing.

“I’ll be taking my husband with me as it will be a nice treat for us. I’ve never been in a helicopter before.”
