Description

This is Harold the Helicopter.

Origin: Harold the Helicopter is a Westland Whirlwind helicopter built in 1952 and was a great helicopter for rescuing people. The following year in 1953, he was purchased by the Sodor Air Field and met Percy. When Harold first met Percy, he stated that railways were "slow and out-of-date", but was proven wrong when Percy beat him in a race. Harold also dropped hot drinks for Percy's crew when they were stranded in a flood. In 1968, when Thomas's brakes failed, while boarding at a station, Harold chased him down the line with an inspector. For Christmas that year Harold brought Father Christmas to the party at Tidmouth Station and he also had other adventures and Harold still works for the Sodor Air Field to this day. Harold also recived many modifications during the early 1950's and the late 1960's.

Color: Harold is painted in white with red lining. His name is painted in red along with the Sodor Air Field logos. he also has red window frames and the Sodor flag on with red frames. Harold also has a red talkie talkie commutation headset and some goggles which puts on when he takes off.

Personalities:
When Harold was first introduced, he was shown to be very proud of being able to fly and the speed and versatility this gives him. He somewhat tended to be cocky, as he believed that "railways are slow and quite out of date". This caused a bit of rivalry between him and the engines, particularly Percy and he is usually nicknamed "whirlybird" for that, but he usually got his comeuppance in the end. Sometimes, he finds himself in need of Percy's help after he teases him for being slow. Despite this, he still works hard and deep down, he knows that the engines on the Fat Controller's railway, including Percy, are just as useful as he is. He is always helpful and highly alert whenever there is an emergency, especially on patrol. Because of this, he remains a friend to the railway.
Harold also speaks in a manner reminiscent of an RAF pilot, using terms such as "wizard" and "old chap" in conversation.
