INDIPUP – To operate all day in dedicated area


Rescue Day 2010 which took place on Saturday the 10th of July

was without doubt and outstanding success. Attendance figures surpassed all

expectation, we do not have exact figures, however, we believe they exceeded 15,000. The weather was

truly outstanding with wall to wall sunshine for the majority of the day.

The main objectives for the day was to raise safety awareness to members of the public by providing

displays such as Water Rescue demonstrations and Road Traffic Collision exercises, along with raising

funds for Help for Heroes and other charities such Lindsey Lodge, LIVES, and the British Heart

Foundation.

Our objectives were met in full throughout the day with both display arenas providing informative and

demonstrative displays, additionally Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue

Services along with Humberside Police, East Midlands Ambulance Service, Sheffield Hallam University and

other organisations such as the British Heart Foundation, LIVES, Coast Guard, Doncaster Sub Aqua Club

all provided displays, information and talks to the public which all contributed immensely to the days

success.

The Aerial displays provided by 202 Squadron, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (Spitfire) along with

the Police and Lincolnshire Air Ambulance Helicopters were absolutely superb and all will be attending

this years Rescue Day

The Red Devils conducted an outstanding Parachute display culminating into a water drop and rescue by

Humber Rescue, Doncaster and Thorne Sub Aqua clubs ably assisted by the 7 Lakes rescue team on Jet

Skis. The Red Devils then met with the public signing autographs and providing photo opportunities

It would be remiss of me not to mention all those volunteer and youth organisations who also contributed

significantly to the events overall success last year such as FODSA, the Army and Navy cadets, Lost and

Lonely Scooters along with the Staff at 7 Lakes Country Park.

A full schedule of today‟s events and demonstrations are within the program, we will endeavour to ensure

that all demonstrations / displays are as per the times promulgated, however, they are approximations due

to current on call obligations of the organisations providing the demonstration / display.

Our chosen charities for this year‟s event are Help for Heroes, Humber Rescue, several Emergencies

charities and other local charities and it is hoped that along with the generosity of sponsors we can raise

as much money as possible

for such a worthy cause. I

would like to express our

sincere thanks to you all for

your kind donations.

Finally, The Committee and I

wish you a very enjoyable

day and our thanks for your

support and attendance

Sincerely Yours

John Armson

The Parachute Regiment

Freefall Team ‘The Red Devils’

was formed in 1964 to promote the

Army‟s elite Parachute Regiment in support of

recruitment. Every member of the team is a

serving soldier from one of the Regiment‟s three

full-time Battalions: 1, 2 & 3 PARA - with each

having seen active service in The Falklands,

Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Leone,

Afghanistan or Iraq.

Since 1979 The Red Devils has been firmly established as the British Army‟s official parachute display

team and its members are widely acknowledged as among the best display parachutists in the world.

Every year the team carry out more than 100 spectacular parachute displays at public events worldwide

promoting The British Army and The Parachute Regiment („The Paras‟).

In addition to displays, the Red Devils also help to raise over £500,000 for charity each year by carrying

out Tandem Skydives with members of the public.

A classic Red Devils parachute display will see up to six team members jumping from an altitude of up

to 10,000ft. Trailing smoke to demonstrate their speed and movement, the highly-skilled skydivers will

freefall at speeds of up to 120mph, before deploying their parachutes. Once safely under canopy, team

members will demonstrate breathtaking, high-speed “Swoop” landings and spectacular “Canopy

Formations” – both unique to parachute displays in the UK.

For more information on the Red Devils, the Parachute Regiment, Tandem Skydives for charity, display

bookings and/or sponsorship opportunities please visit the team‟s website: www.reddevilsonline.com

The Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance is a

dedicated medical air service which first began operations in

Lincolnshire in April 1994.

Based at RAF Waddington, south of Lincoln, and unaffected by road congestion, country roads, heavy

vehicles or road works the Helicopter can reach any destination in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire in

19 minutes.

In the financial year 2007/2008 we flew 1104 missions and on 6th March 2008 completed our 10,000th

mission.

In England and Wales there are Eighteen dedicated Air Ambulance operations flying a total of 29

helicopters and all are reliant upon charitable support.

An Air Ambulance provides an

important and sometimes vital

additional patient care service

for our most critically ill and

injured patients.

Humber Rescue is an

independent charity

responsible for the

provision of a fast-response

rescue boat on the rivers

of the Humber Estuary. The

area covered by Humber Rescue is

approximately 540 sq. miles and includes

the Rivers, Trent, Ouse, Hull and Humber.

Prior to the service provided by Humber

Rescue there was no dedicated rescue or

safety vessel on the upper Humber. The

area covered by Humber Rescue is

approximately 540 sq. miles and includes

the Rivers, Trent, Ouse, Hull and Humber.

Calling Us Out

If you see anything suspicious on or in the water, flares, clothing hoisted on a ship or yachts mast, people waving

or persons walking around on sandbanks, DIAL 999 and ask for the Coastguard. The operator will connect you

through to the Coastguard Rescue Centre at Bridlington who will alert Humber Rescue by pager system.

Humber Rescue will launch to check out the situation. Humber Rescue would prefer to be called out, even if it

turns out to be a false alarm, rather than to arrive too.

On 1 October 1946, No 518 Squadron

based at Aldergrove with specially

modified Halifaxes was renumbered

No 202 Squadron. Its aircraft were

flown on daily weather reconnaissance

patrols over the North Atlantic until

the Squadron converted to Hastings' in

October 1950. The Hastings continued

until 1964 hen the first weather

satellites became available and the

Squadron disbanded. A month later,

the unit was reformed following the

renumbering of No 228 Squadron Leconfield and the unit took over its search and rescue duties with Whirlwind

helicopters. In 1978 the aircraft were replaced by Sea Kings, and a central maintenance facility was established at

Finningley. When Finningley closed in 1989, the central element moved to Boulmer. Today, the Squadron operates a

series of Flights, usually of two aircraft at a number of stations around the coast. Detached flights are currently

based at Boulmer ('A' Flight and Headquarters), Lossiemouth ('D' Flight) and Leconfield ('E' Flight).

The SAR Squadrons provide cover around the UK and the Falkland Islands throughout each year and are equipped

to fly in all weathers. The SAR fleet of Sea Kings are fitted with a video/infrared detection pod, which is similar to

the equipment used by police helicopters, to help search for casualties. The SAR Squadrons' primary role is to

rescue downed military aircrew but, spend the majority of their time assisting the civilian emergency services

searching for and rescuing civilians in distress. Searches and rescues can range from mountaineers who have fallen to

sailors who are suffering illness in the Atlantic to overland rescues such as during the Gloucester floods in 2007.

Air Operations Section

The Humberside Police Air Operations Section was introduced in December 1996, based at Normandy Barracks,

Leconfield, near Beverley, East Yorkshire.

In 2005 the section relocated to Humberside International Airport, placing it ideally midway between the three main

conurbations of the Humberside Police Area - Hull, Grimsby and Scunthorpe, dramatically improving the transit

time to incidents in the south of the area.

The initial helicopter was a Bolkow 105 DBS 5 which was superseded in September 2001 by an MD 902 Helicopter

which is noticeable by its lack of tail rotor as it employs an innovative NOTAR air flow system to keep the aircraft

stable.

The aircraft employs a daytime and thermal imaging night time video camera along with recording equipment to

capture the images, and carries a regular crew of a pilot and two police observers.

The section comprises the UEO Mr Kevin

Limbert, DUEO Sgt Sara Whiting along

with 8 police constables, 4 pilots and an

admin assistant.

The section are involved in a multitude of

operational roles within Humberside Police

including crimes in progress, firearms

incidents, road traffic, public order,

surveillance, missing persons and digital and

video evidence gathering.

The helicopter is an integral part of policing

and the section deals with approximately

3,500 tasks per year, taking up around 1,200

flying hours, the crew work shifts giving 20

hours available cover per day. Page 7

An Introduction to Humberside Fire and Rescue Service

The Fire and Rescue Service area encompasses the 4 Unitary Authorities of East Riding of Yorkshire, Kingston Upon

Hull, North Lincolnshire & North East Lincolnshire, and covers 2,261 square miles including the Humber Estuary. The

City of Hull and towns of Scunthorpe and Grimsby are the main centres of population. The geography of the County

ranges from the Yorkshire Wolds in the North, the Vale of York in the West and the Lincolnshire Wolds in the

South. The Service covers a population of almost 914,846 people.

The Past

Humberside Fire and Rescue Service was formed in 1974 following local government reorganisation from the

amalgamation of the East Riding of Yorkshire County Fire Service, Grimsby Borough Fire and Rescue Service,

Kingston Upon Hull City Fire Brigade and part of the Lincoln (Lindsey) Fire Brigade and a small part of the West

Riding of Yorkshire County Fire and Rescue Service.

The Fire and Rescue Service area encompasses the 4 Unitary Authorities of East Riding of Yorkshire, Kingston Upon

Hull, North Lincolnshire & North East Lincolnshire, and covers 1,356 square miles including the Humber Estuary. The

City of Hull and towns of Scunthorpe and Grimsby are the main centres of population. The geography of the County

ranges from the Yorkshire Wolds in the North, the Vale of York in the West and the Lincolnshire Wolds in the

South. The Service covers a population of almost 890,000 people.

The Present

To provide our services we employ 1034 operational personnel (674 Wholetime, 360 Retained Duty System) 30

Control Room staff and 220 support staff. These work from our 31 fire stations (12 Wholetime, 19 Retained Duty

System) offices and workshops strategically located within our four Unitary Authority areas.

Following risk analysis, we identified that the previous organisational structure and risk management arrangements

were not aligned with local authority boundaries. There was also a need to improve our engagement with local

communities and partners to improve our community safety function. A major organisational review was undertaken

which has resulted in the creation of four Community Protection Units (CPUs) whose boundaries are co-terminus

with the Unitary Authorities. Their aim is to project risk reduction into the local communities more effectively. By

design, a CPU is not an individual station or building, but an administrative area encompassing groups of stations.

The CPU concept has created an effective platform from which to launch risk reduction initiatives directly into the

community, work more effectively with our partners, as well as providing an administrative structure and base for our

fire engines. The CPU structure and flexibility of our resources are critical to the successful protection of our

communities and working towards our vision.

The Future

The following are some of the development areas we are addressing:

Establish and maintain a Learning Centre

Fully integrate CPU Plans with Local Area Agreements

Review the Services approach to reducing its carbon footprint

Promotion of fire sprinkler systems

Reduce the impact of Road Traffic Collisions through prevention and

intervention

Review provisions for spate emergencies (flooding, etc.)

Improve the skills, knowledge and equipment for operational personnel

Increase breadth of rescue training

Implement and test Business Continuity arrangements

Improve communications

Further embed corporate risk and opportunity management

Devise and implement a performance verification framework

Devise and embed an effective work activity planning framework for

operational personnel

Embed equality and diversity within our workforce activities


Nowadays the Battle of Britain

Memorial Flight is a household

name and a national institution. Just

about everyone will stop in their tracks as the familiar

Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster three-ship formation

appears overhead. But it wasn‟t always that way...

The modern BBMF was created from more humble

beginnings, and though it paid the same mark of respect

it did so under tight constraint. It has gone from being a loose collection of „obsolete types‟ tucked away in the corner

of various hangars, to caring for priceless assets of British aviation heritage with its own headquarters.

Wg Cdr Peter Thompson dfc, then Station Commander at RAF Biggin Hill was primarily responsible for its formation.

After gaining his wings in the summer of 1940, Peter flew Hurricanes during the Battle of Britain.

The BBMF was moved to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. On 1st March 1976, In April 1985 the BBMF acquired DH

Devon VP981 for airborne escort and logistics support. The Devon was most useful in this role, providing navigational

assistance in controlled airspace, safety cover over water and was a reliable instrument platform and lead aircraft in

the event of poor weather.

An „old friend‟ rejoined BBMF in 1987. British Aerospace had rebuilt PS915 to airworthy condition and it was

presented back to the Flight. Its first post rebuild air test was carried out at Warton on 16th December 1986, and it

was delivered to RAF Coningsby on 7th April 1987.

Sadly there was a major set-back in September 1991 when LF363 suffered an engine failure en route to Jersey and had

to make an emergency landing at RAF Wittering. It was virtually destroyed in the ensuing fire - which put it out of

service for seven years.

As the cost of LF363‟s rebuild could not be met by the public purse, it was decided to sell Spitfire XIX PS853 to raise

the money necessary to restore the Hurricane. „LF‟ returned to the air on 29th September 1998.

On 20th July 1993 the BBMF acquired the Douglas (DC3) Dakota, ZA947, making the Devon‟s role superfluous

whence it was offered for sale.

In November 1997 there was yet another major addition, when newly-restored Spitfire LFIXe, MK356 arrived. Not

only was the Flight getting a variant it hadn‟t previously operated, but MK356 also came with fine provenance - it had

flown during the D-Day period in June 1944 supporting the Allied invasion of occupied France.

The latest aircraft to join the Flight‟s ranks is Spitfire XVI TE311, which is currently undergoing rebuild to airworthy

condition. Not only will the BBMF soon have six airworthy Spitfires, but it will also be operating a low-back Mk.XVI -

the variant that provided the backbone of the Flight‟s early commemorative duties.

Records show that for many years after its formation the Flight conducted relatively low-key operations; typically

making 50-60 appearances per season, a situation that continued into the mid-1960s. By 1992 participation was up to

150 appearances, growing to 200 in 1995 and exceeding 500 in 1996. Since 2003 the Flight has been tasked for over

700 individual aircraft appearances during each year‟s display season and this is now considered the norm. The

demand for appearances by the BBMF‟s aircraft shows no sign of decline and indeed appears to be increasing. In 2008

the BBMF were tasked with 944 individual appearances at 529 separate events. These events included 127 air displays

and 402 flypasts of various sizes ranging from the Queen‟s Birthday Flypast over London through commemorative

flypasts for veterans such as the 65th Anniversary of the Dams Raid and the 60th Anniversary of the Berlin Airlift to

small village fetes. The Flight‟s aircraft appeared live in front of an estimated total audience of 7 million people not to

mention those that saw them in transit and through the media.

During the 2009 season there will be a similar number of opportunities to see the BBMF fly, demonstrating the

continued importance that the RAF places upon maintaining these aircraft in perfect flying condition, the desire to

maintain a tangible link with our roots and our heritage and, above all, to remember the national debt owed to those

who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
