Harold the Helicopter

Harold the Helicopter is a supporting character in Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. He is a rescue patrol helicopter, who flies in the bright, blue skies over the Island of Sodor to help those in need of rescue. He is a good friend to all the engines, even though they often refer to him as ``whirlybird'.' In his first appearance, he claimed that railways were ``slow and out of date, but was proven false when having a race with Percy. He and Percy both love doing the same job, delivering the mail. Harold is now part of the new Sodor Search and Rescue Team!
