Sunday 2nd July is the 3rd annual Thank You Day! Join us in taking this chance to say thank you to everyone and everything that make our communities what they are. (1/2) @thankyouday_ #thankyouday #ns4x4r #4x4response
First Sight Pilots out practising some shoreline and riverbank searches y'day. These areas can be exceptionally difficult to search by foot or boat... We can help! Whether its persons, pets, wildlife or even litter... First Sight offer extra eyes over any scene! 👀 #FirstSightAS
We were out again with @SuffolkLSAR last weekend 👍 5 of the @FirstSightAS team Pilots spent the weekend nr. Thetford Forest with SuLSaR training modules on Sat and S&R scenarios running all day Sunday! But... too windy for us to fly this time... 😑 Thank you @SuffolkLSAR !
One of the First Sight Pilots testing his new Wing; a Dudek Solo 27m. Happy to report the 1st flight went well and Mike's smile told us he's enjoying his new kit... 🪂😁 Great colours!! 👍
Whilst out at the weekend we finally completed successful in-flight testing of our new Pilot Radio Headsets! Happy to report they worked very well & we have now ordered another 2 sets with 2 additional radios! 🎧👍
We were out at the weekend with some flyable weather finally!! Time to test a brand new machine & get some further coastline search training in 👍
Have you seen this man - please help us find him norfolk.police.uk/news/latest-ne…
Hoping to be getting back to some more training in the skies very soon. Here fellow Pilot David & I are approaching Mersea Island from the W/NW over the River Colne 👍
These were then transported to the rest centre by ourselves & Ea-CAT Big THANK YOU to 'TeaPot1" from the @salvationarmy for providing much needed refreshments to us all. @SuffolkPrepared #ns4x4r #suffolk #4x4RUK #Floodex #suffolkprepared
Joint search and rescue exercise with @SuffolkFire today. Foot and boat teams responded to a mock flooding incident with multiple casualties around Alton Water. We were then supported in moving the casualties to a holding centre in Ipswich by @NS4x4R and @ea_cat.
Catch-up post.... Last Sunday 2nd Oct @FirstSightAS joined @SuffolkLSAR for another training session near Woolpit, Suffolk. Another opportunity to refine things (Comms especially) and learn lots as always 👍 Our thanks again to all the SuLSaR Team.
A fantastic day yesterday joining @SuffolkLSAR in Ipswich witnessing them receiving the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service 2022! A TEAM MBE no less! Many Congratulations to the whole team for a fantastic achievement & great recognition of their work over nearly 25yrs! 👑🏆
Unknown Author; But we at First Sight found this and thought it was lovely... 💜👑 #QueenElizabethII
A very sad day for the UK and Commonwealth! Our thoughts too are with the Royal Family at this difficult time.
