On behalf of the Rescue Day Committee I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 7 Lakes Country Park Emergency Services Rescue Day. Without doubt Rescue Day could not occur without the tremendous work carried out by the Rescue Day Committee and the generosity of the many helpers and sponsors along with our Host who have contributed and continue to assist in making Rescue Day one of the largest of its kind in both the UK and Europe.

Our primary aim today is to bring together members of the Emergency Services from within our region and neighbouring regions / Counties along with other voluntary and Aid organisations in order to provide our communities with information and demonstration in the promotion of Safer Roads and Waterside Safety within our region and to the wider communities also. It is our intention to deliver this by way of Road Traffic Collision Demonstrations, Water Rescue Demonstrations along with educational trailers and stands from the Emergency Services and Aid organisations. 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 charity for this year‟s event is Help for Heroes and it is hoped that along with the generosity of sponsors we can raise as much money as possible for such a worthy cause. The Pink Berets will be appealing to you to consider giving donations throughout the day, on behalf of our chosen charity 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.

John Armson and the Rescue Day Committee.

About Help for Heroes Help for Heroes (H4H) was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry after a profoundly moving visit to Selly Oak Hospital in the summer of 2007. Bryn and Emma met some extraordinarily brave young people who had been badly wounded and they just wanted to do something to help.

The charity was launched in October 2007 and, with the backing and support of celebrities, including Jeremy and Francie Clarkson, the Royal Family, the media and countless ordinary decent people, it has raised over £1m a month since then.

Help for Heroes is strictly non-political. We have no affiliation with any political party and we do not endorse the use of our name for the promotion of any political viewpoint. The money that we raise at Help for Heroes is used to support wounded Servicemen and women of every colour and creed and we strongly oppose any individual or political party who believes otherwise, and those who seek to use the charity‟s name for their own political gain.

The message is simple: H4H does not seek to criticise or be political; we simply want to help and to do so by asking everyone to do their bit to raise money. Once that money is raised, we go to the experts in the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force for guidance as to how best to spend it. It is our intention to spend all we raise on the practical, direct support of those wounded in the service of our country since 9/11.

We give capped grants to those charities and groups best able to provide the facilities and services we want our men and women to have. We do not deliver individual benevolence, as that is the work of existing Service Charities which we work very closely with.

When we began, we wanted to ensure that we would be as efficient as possible so our policy is money in and money out. We are not trying to build large reserves, we want your money to be used and quickly. We have either spent or allocated £34m to date on facilities and services. We can spend all we get, so don‟t stop!

We set up H4H Trading to sell products and the profits from these sales mean that we can cover all of our operating costs and donate the extra to the charity, so rest assured, currently if you give us £10, £10.10 will go to the cause…. and that is better than any other charity we know of.

We are working hard to raise more money and we are passionate about what we are doing. It is needed, it is appreciated and we are making a real difference to the lives of some extraordinary young men and women. Please join us in helping our Heroes.

Pictured on the right is Ben Parkinson who was injured in 2006 whilst serving in Afghanistan with 7 Para RHA . He met Bryn and Emma Parry at Selly Oak and Headley Court, and helped inspire the formation of Help for Heroes. Still a serving paratrooper, Ben works tirelessly for Help for Heroes and many other military charities.

Thank you

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 late!

202 Squadron (Search and Rescue) Like its sister unit, No 201 Squadron, No 202 can trace its history back to the early days of naval aviation. It was formed at Eastchurch on 17 October 1914, and employed a motley selection of types on operations against Belgian ports and anti-Zeppelin patrols.

The unit was swallowed up by No 2 Wing, RNAS in June 1915, but reformed from 'B' Squadron, No 1 Wing, RNAS, on 5 November 1916 at St Pol in France with Farman F40s which were used for reconnaissance over Belgium. These were replaced by DH4s in March 1917, and even after the unit became No 202 Squadron, RAF on 1 April 1918, it continued its bombing and patrol duties over southern Belgium. After the Armistice, the Squadron's aircraft were dispersed amongst other squadrons and No 202 disbanded in January 1920.

The Squadron briefly reformed in Egypt between April 1920 and May 1921 before inter-service rivalries and economies eventually won. On 1 January 1929, No 481 Flight flying Fairey IIID floatplanes out of Kalafrana, Malta was redesignated No 202 (Flying Boat) Squadron. Flying boats in the shape of Scapas did not arrive until 1935 but these were replaced two years later by Londons. The Squadron was placed on a high state of alert during the Spanish Civil War and Munich Crisis, but both incidents passed uneventfully.

Within days of the Second World War starting, the unit moved to Gibraltar and took over a number of Swordfish floatplanes.

Both types were involved in a series of clashes with the Vichy French Forces and these continued until 1941 when the first Catalinas arrived. After participating in the invasion of North Africa in the autumn of 1942, the unit moved to Lough Erne, Northern Ireland and began anti-submarine Published by Arrow Publications patrols over the Atlantic before disbanding on 12 June 1945.

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, Published the crew workbyshifts giving Publications 20 Arrow hours available cover per day.

Safer Humberside We're making the Humberside Policing Area Safer. That is the message of our latest corporate marketing campaign. Following on from our 'Crime Down' campaign, at the end of last year, which highlighted improvements in performance and reductions in crime.

Humberside Police have embarked on a 'Safer' campaign to help build public confidence and promote the fact that the Humberside Policing Area is a safer place to live, work and visit.

The campaign has been rolled out in two phases. Phase one focussed on the message that Total Crime is down across the Humberside Policing Area meaning that we're making the region safer and we want you to feel safer. To support this message, the Humber Bridge was used for the creative linking our policing areas both North and South of the river Humber. A blue streak of light depicts the safety element that is in existence around the Force area. A number of billboards helped get across this message as well as advertising space in the train stations located in Hull, Scunthorpe and Grimsby.

Phase two of the campaign took the message to a more divisional basis (Kingston-Upon Hull, East Riding, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire). Each divisional policing area was based on the same theme with the blue light of safety travelling around each division. However each division has its own focus, for example, in the East Riding there has been 3,130 fewer victims of crime* with the pledge that Humberside Police is working in partnership to prevent and reduce crime, antisocial behaviour and bring offenders to justice making the East Riding one of the safest places to live.

*Overall crime has fallen by 14.3% on the same period last year (July to June).

SAFER ROADS HUMBER Did you know that there are on average two injury crashes a day in the Humber region involving a young driver?

Safer Roads Humber the region‟s road safety partnership is working hard to reduce the number of young people killed or injured on our region‟s roads.

The Partnership is proud to launch the iCar, a new road safety experience for young people, the launch took place on Sunday 28th March 12-3pm at the Humber Bridge Car Park. The iCar project is aimed at young drivers and their young passengers both of which face a higher of risk of being injured than other age groups.

The iCar Experience includes a road legal black Astra car that has been modified to be used in situ. Young people are invited to sit in the car and view a bespoke film which is based upon real life data and situations. The film features a typical journey driven by a young driver with four young passengers, which in this case ends in a crash. The young driver‟s car comes off the road and hits a tree, a scenario often seen in crashes involving young drivers. Whilst the film is being played, hydraulics in the car simulates the journey and the subsequent crash to provide a full sensory experience. The film shows the emergency services response to rescuing the occupants, one of whom is fatally injured and the other four seriously injured.

The iCar can also be used to raise awareness of other road safety issues, which include speeding, drink and drug driving, wearing seat belts, answering mobile phones or texting whilst driving.

Funding for the project has come from Safer Roads Humber with Humberside Fire and Rescue taking the lead on developing the car which is based upon Lincolnshire Casualty Reduction Partnership‟s “Too Fast Too Soon” project.

Ruth Gore spokesperson for Safer Roads Humber said “Hopefully by being involved in the iCar experience young drivers will have a better understanding of the dangers they face on the roads, amend their driving technique and undertake further driver training.”

“We also hope that passengers will also benefit from the iCar experience by being able to speak up if uncomfortable about the way the car is been driven, support the driver in sensible driving behaviour and not being tempted to encourage the driver to go faster.”

Safer Roads Humber‟s overall aim is to reduce the number of people killed or injured on the regions roads.

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.

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.

Other fire and rescue authorities are now being urged to look at our CPU model by the Department for Communities and Local Government.

The roles of personnel have been redesigned, particularly managers in the CPUs with the aim of improving service delivery and engagement with our communities and partners. This will ensure that community safety is improved and focus moved to prevention management.

The primary role of the CPU Service Delivery Manager is to coordinate the activities of the multifunctional CPU and manage performance in line with its CPU Plan. They deploy their resources to best meet the needs of the local risk, which requires flexibility of resource management. This function is assisted by a Community Risk Manager who identifies risks in the community and is the link between the Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) task groups and the CPUs. Each CPU has designated Community Fire Safety staff, who implement community safety activities and support shift-based staff fulfil their community safety objectives. This includes a role to target and reduce deliberate fire starting. An operational support team, led by the Operational Support Manager are responsible for identifying risks to operational staff, providing information of the risks and planning development opportunities to confirm operational procedures will address those risks.

Performance and Standards Managers ensure the efficiency of fire stations by verifying that operational personnel fulfil their duties to an appropriate standard and that the work of the station focuses on key priorities linked, through the CPU Plan, to the Services strategic objectives, such as reducing the number of accidental fires in dwellings.

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.
