SOUTHAMPTON International Airport is searching for four local people with physical disabilities to go on a voyage of a lifetime - by ship.
The airport has sponsored four places on the Jubilee sailing Trust tall ship, Lord Nelson, on a six-day trip due to set sail from the Thames on May 12.
The lucky individuals will join four BAA Southampton Airport staff on the sailing adventure. Together, they will be part of a 40-strong mixed ability crew.
No seagoing experience is necessary, but all applicants must be 16 years of age of over.
The Lord Nelson will set sail from the Thames and will be calling in at the ports of either Amsterdam or Bruge before heading back to her home port of Southampton.
Southampton Airport has been involved in the Jubilee Sailing Trust for the past seven years and staff helped to build Lord Nelson's sister ship, Tenacious. The vessels are the only tall ships in the world to have been specially designed for physically disabled people to participate fully.
Airport director of communications and Jubilee Sailing Trust trustee, Jan Halliday, said: "Southampton Airport is a long term supporter of the Jubilee Sailing Trust.
