First Sight Aerial Support

The @FirstSightAS Pilot Team (-1) with our van that serves as our operational base when deployed on exercise. Very proud that we have in excess of 75 years Paramotor Piloting experience between us! 😎

Happy Birthday @RNLI - what incredible milestones 🧡

Sunday 2nd July is the 3rd annual Thank You Day! Join us in taking this chance to say thank you to everyone and everything that make our communities what they are. (1/2) @thankyouday_ #thankyouday #ns4x4r #4x4response

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 !

One of the First Sight Pilots testing his new Wing; a Dudek Solo 27m. Happy to report the 1st flight went well and Mike's smile told us he's enjoying his new kit... 🪂😁 Great colours!! 👍

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! 🎧👍

We were out at the weekend with some flyable weather finally!! Time to test a brand new machine & get some further coastline search training in 👍

Have you seen this man - please help us find him norfolk.police.uk/news/latest-ne…

Hoping to be getting back to some more training in the skies very soon. Here fellow Pilot David & I are approaching Mersea Island from the W/NW over the River Colne 👍

These were then transported to the rest centre by ourselves & Ea-CAT Big THANK YOU to 'TeaPot1" from the @salvationarmy for providing much needed refreshments to us all. @SuffolkPrepared #ns4x4r #suffolk #4x4RUK #Floodex #suffolkprepared

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.

@mrpaulcmorris @SuffolkLSAR Well done @SuffolkLSAR 💪 Thank you for inviting us to join your very special presentation. A fantastic achievement for the entire team!

A very proud day yesterday as we recieved the Queens award for volunteer services from Lady Euston, Suffolk’s Lord Lieutenant. Also 34 members received their medals for long service. We couldn’t do what we do without our families & sponsors support THANK YOU! @SuffolkLSAR

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.

Take only photos and memories... Leave only footprints... 🏞💜

@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! 👍

Can you spot BOTH of our First Sight Pilots returning to the Goldhanger LZ in these 4 photos??? 📷👀🔎👍

Getting ready to go... 👍 #FirstSightAS
