✈️ Guernsey Air Display seen from the Flying Christine.
Paramedic Ben and crewmate Morgan had a slightly different view of the aircraft yesterday evening.
The marine ambulance was part of the safety team on the water for the event, while a double crewed road ambulance and operational commander were stationed on the seafront among the spectators. We also had an ambulance tactical commander on duty alongside fellow senior officers from the other services at police headquarters.

Every year the island enjoys the Battle of Britain Guernsey Air Display, but many people probably do not realise quite how much work goes on behind the scenes to ensure the event runs smoothly and safely.
Planning begins well in advance, with the Emergency Services working alongside Guernsey Ports, event organisers and a large team of volunteers. Together they cover everything from airspace and maritime safety in the display area, to crowd management, traffic and access routes, and clear contingency plans should anything not go as planned.
Last night, commanders from across the services gathered at Police Headquarters to oversee the event, monitor conditions in real time, and stay in close contact with the display coordinators and the pilots throughout. This joint approach means any decision can be made quickly and with everyone informed.
As ever, it was a brilliant event. Thank you to everyone who organised it.

At 9am on 9/9 we joined colleagues from the other emergency services in Guernsey and Alderney to mark Emergency Services Day.
A short ceremony and 2 minutes silence was held in both islands. Representatives from the ambulance service and Flying Christine gathered with staff from the police, fire, harbour, RNLI and civil protection to reflect and remember the dedication and service of those who serve and those who have died in the line or duty.

Today is Emergency Services Day - a national day to show support for all emergency responders, blue light services and the volunteers who support us.
Chief Ambulance Officer John Atkins said: “Every day our teams of dedicated ambulance crews in Guernsey and Alderney come to the aid of people who are sick or injured. They save lives, they are compassionate, they are highly skilled and they take time to care.
Much of their work goes unseen, but don't forget they are here all year round and can be just as busy overnight as they are in the daytime. Emergency Services Day is an opportunity for me as Chief Ambulance Officer and the whole community to show our appreciation not only for the paramedics, emergency medical technicians and emergency care assistants who serve today, but all those who have served with the Ambulance and Rescue service during the past 90 years, since we were formed in 1936.
It is also about recognising our support staff and the volunteers who give their time, as Community First Responder, Flying Christine Crew and Ambulance Reserve members. We are part of a family of 250,000 emergency responders across the British Isles and as we pause for 2 minutes silence we also remember our colleagues from all the blue light services who have died in the line of duty"
