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 !

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! 🎧👍

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 very sad day for the UK and Commonwealth! Our thoughts too are with the Royal Family at this difficult time.

[SULSAR @SuffolkLSAR]

Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue is deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Second.

Her family are in our thoughts at this time.

Love this space? Leave no trace 🚮🌳

If you’re heading outdoors this weekend, be prepared. Remember to pack a spare bag so you can take your litter home with you if there isn’t a bin.

Retweet to spread the word! 🔃

@EssexSAR I wish we could have helped...! Please make contact if you'd like to continue our conversation regarding Paramotor assisted Search & Rescue. We are volunteer Pilots now working with Suffolk LSAR for the same purposes... We'd LOVE to support Essex SAR in the same ways! 👍
