Use your eyes and ears to keep our airports safe

Here's what to look for:
  • Pilots who appear under the control of someone else.
  • Anyone trying to access an aircraft through force — without keys, using a crowbar or screwdriver.
  • Anyone who seems unfamiliar with aviation procedures trying to check out an airplane.
  • Anyone who misuses aviation lingo — or seems too eager to use all the lingo
  • People or groups who seem determined to keep to themselves.
  • Any members of your airport neighborhood who work to avoid contact with you or other airport tenants.
  • Anyone who appears to be just loitering, with no specific reason for being there.
  • Any out-of-the-ordinary videotaping of aircraft or hangars.
  • Aircraft with unusual or obviously unauthorized modifications.
  • Dangerous cargo or loads — explosives, chemicals, openly displayed weapons — being loaded into an airplane.
  • Anything that strikes you as wrong — listen to your gut instinct, and then follow through.
  • Pay special attention to height, weight, and the individual's clothing or other identifiable traits.

Use your common sense.

New Campaign sweeping the Nation

"ICE"

Following the attacks in London, East Anglian Ambulance Service  has  launched a national "In Case of  Emergency ( ICE ) " campaign.

The  idea is that you store the word " ICE " in your mobile phone address book,  and against it enter the  number of the person you would want to be contacted  "In Case of Emergency".

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital  staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it.

Please will you also email this to everybody in your address book, it won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this.


It  really could help the emergency services in doing their job. For more than  one contact name use: ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
