A WING-WALKING team are searching for a new sponsor to have their name plastered all over their aircraft.

The world’s only formation wingwalking team, based at Rendcomb Airfield, near Cirencester, is offering companies the rare opportunity to bid for headline sponsorship of the high-flying act in 2010 after face-cream firm Guinot pulled out.

The sole owner of the UK distributors for Guinot died suddenly in February and the company was unable to sign a 2010 contract.

"The wingwalking sponsorship has been immensely successful," said Ros Grace, managing director of the current distributors of Guinot.

"The headline-grabbing nature of daring girls looping through the skies standing on the top wing of beautiful biplanes ensures the team are regularly featured on national television and in the national press, we are very sad not to be sponsoring the team after 2009."

For further information regarding this opportunity contact Rhiannon Roche on 01285 831774.
