Due to unforeseen circumstances, the timings for the Air Displays may be subject to change.

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 todayâ€&#x;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 yearâ€&#x;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 On behalf of the Rescue Day Committee

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

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

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.
