Well, what a great night we had at Leconfield!

In the Hangar

An exciting mix of education, fun and games and a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet the RAF lads who crew the Sea King Search and Rescue helicopters.

Is that a ray Gun, no a Foam Gun

After a briefing, interrupted by a genuine call out half way through, we went to see the Fire Engine on the landing pad. Is that a Ray Gun? No, a foam gun!

We had an encounter with the Jaws of Life and a quick Radio Check, then on to the Hangar and a guided tour of the Sea King.

Jaws of Life

Fire 1 to Control...over

The excitement was added to as the Sea King on call out returned to Base and landed just metres away from us and the Pilot came into the Hangar to see us again.

mission accomplished

Thanks to all at the Base who gave us a great evening and thanks to all the Parents for their support and a massive thank you to Sgt. Mark Cotton and “Jeffers” for making it all possible!
