Helicopter Maintenance Name??

Hi Guys and Gals, a friend of mine is opening a new helicopter maintenance operation and was asking me if I had any ideas on a catchy name. Over to you, I'm sure I can get a bottle of malt out of him if he uses any of the suggestions.

Thanks in anticipation!!

PS The Malt going to the person who supplies the name...not me that is

If your mate changed his name accordingly by deed poll, he could call his new company 'Ben Dover Helicopter Maintenance'.

Most owners would probably raise a wry smile - we all know that's what happens everywhere anyway.

Happy to wrack my brains to win a bottle of malt

There may be some long(ish) memories here.

Edit. Disregard. There was a poster some years ago with the same handle. Still doing time I believe.

What about "Whirls". Nice and simple.

I only like pure malts.

Oi, who are you calling "nice and simple"? That'll be Hendrick's Gin then please.

"'Copter Doctor"

Or, if there are female employees:

"Nutts-Titan Engineering"

"Talk Wench Engineering".

(Yes, very chauvinistic I know, but only meant in gentle fun ).
