Great to spend some time with @2397aircadets tonight. The cadets explored our capabilities and got to handle some of our aircraft and equipment. Hopefully, we can follow this up with a flying demonstration when the weather improves #rafaircadets @wiltspolicesc @wiltshirepolice

We assisted with the train accident in Salisbury last night to provide live images to the control room. Amazing team work from all organisations involved

Last night we deployed our @PoliceUAV capability to assist @SouthWiltsCPT & @wiltspolicedogs search for a high risk missing person. With help from the drone they were found safe & well. We then happened across an RTC, thankfully no 1 was injured. #AFOeyeinthesky #AFOsinwhitehats

4 of the team were about yesterday morning assisting with a protracted job in Swindon. 2 of the team then assisted in searching for a high risk missing person on Salisbury Plain. And then sadly assisted with a medical tasking involving a child struck by a vehicle.

One of our pilots assisted @SouthWiltsCPT last night and located a high risk missing person in the Wilton area. Even managed it even before @FozzyandBoris arrived at scene. 😀
