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 !

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.

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! 🔃 #CountrysideCode #RespectProtectEnjoy
