If you’re a royal enthusiast who likes to travel quite a bit and have the necessary skills to fly a plane, you could be the perfect candidate for a job vacancy in the British royal household!
Just weeks after it was reported that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth fears her heirs could be involved in a helicopter crash, the royal household sent out a message for “experienced” helicopter pilots.
According to Hello magazine, the royal household ran an advertisement for helicopter pilots who have “extensive” experience and would like to join a small team of pilots and ground crew who are responsible for flying royals for official engagements.
The role, that of being part of the Queen’s Helicopter Flight, is reportedly based at RAF Odiham and will involve working 37.5 hours per week for 5 days.
The job description also includes the planning and execution of safe flights, as well as supporting the Director of Flight Operations in management tasks.
“Flexibility is essential as you will need to travel around the UK and stay overnight as required,” the description reads, given it is an especially busy year for the royal family with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
