A bit of a pre-emptive strike to save all the "there's something kicking off in New Brighton", "anyone know what's going on down in New Brighton" posts.

Tonight between 19:00-22:00 MFRS (Mersey Fire and Rescue Service) will be training in New Brighton, so don't be alarmed if you see lots of Fire Engines, boats and a helicopter. There's nothing amiss, it's nothing for the "Tin Foil Hat Brigade" to worry about and it's nothing to worry about.

That is all grin

Think I'll go an watch and have a laugh, they will never be as good as the rnli....the government go on about spending cuts and they happly pay full time fire man to sit there on 24hour standby when there's a free lifeboat that's ready 24/7 and do the job better

I got back at about 20:30 as I'd seen nothing but I've heard the helo going over and round so I guess I came home too soon frown Ah well, I'll get them next time smile Got some nice shots of the jet skiers though.

I got home at about 20:15 as I'd been out since 19:00 and the leg was swelling & seizing up. I could hear a helo as I was coming up my stairs - If I'd heard it properly I'd have said fook the leg, I'm going back out raftl
Posted By: bazzoh Re: New Brighton this evening.... - 14th Jul 2011 7:15pm
well, as you can see from the images, the sea king was flying pretty low up and down the river - pretty impressive flying!
