Quiet Friday

Post by TonyO » Wed May 19, 2010 10:27 pm

Lyneham is holding its Major Accident Exercise on May 21, this 'should' mean no flying.

From the website:
Major Accident Exercise at RAF Lyneham

Royal Air Force Lyneham will be conducting a Major Accident Exercise at a time scheduled between the 17th and 21st May 2010. The controlled exercise is intended to test and prove RAF Lyneham’s personnel and systems of contingencies in coping, containing and resolving a major accident or incident that could potentially happen on the Station. The exercise will also afford the opportunity to bolster the professional relationships and coordination between RAF Lyneham, the Wiltshire Local Resilience Forum (LRF), Police, Fire, Ambulance and Local Authority.

To enable the coordinators to replicate a ‘real situation’ pyrotechnics and smoke systems will be utilised throughout the term of the exercise.
Quite an interesting scenario set up by the assessors I understand.

If they had thought about it Lyneham could have had its Crash exercise for real at Brize on the 6th!

That explains the transfering of MEDA to Brize then! No NOTAM for a transfer on that date so far...
