Hello from Severn Beach. Tonight, the growing problem of flygrazing - | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
that's dumping animals on other people's land. | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
I catch up with a repeat offender. And I join a horse bailiff on a late | :00:19. | :00:30. | |
night rescue. Hopefully you are not compromised. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Also tonight, what happens when the mental health service your family | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
relies on closes down. If you do not look after the | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
children when they really need help, later on in life they will become a | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
problem to society. And the country's oldest military | :00:49. | :00:58. | |
jet aircraft finds a new home. It is lying ex-mac it is flying again | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
ex-mac isn't that terrific ?? new line I'm Alastair McKee, and this is | :01:03. | :01:03. | |
Inside Out West. First tonight, we're investigating | :01:04. | :01:17. | |
the cruel practice of dumping animals - mostly horses - on other | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
people's land. It's known as fly-grazing and it's on the rise. In | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
worst cases the animals are deprived of food and water and just left to | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
die. And as I've been finding out, there's little the law can do to | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
stop it. Caught on camera. Two brothers - | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Eddie and Connie Mullane. And they've brought some of their family | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
along to help. These travellers make a living from breeding horses. But | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
they don't use their own land - they leave them on someone else's. This | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
is fly-grazing. And if the Mullanes fly-grazed their | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
horses on your land, you'd find it hard to legally remove them. You | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
can't just take them away. The process can cost thousands, and if | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
you're not careful, you could end up being prosecuted. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
The police say the Mullanes are the biggest fly-Grazers in the West. But | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
they're not the only ones doing this. Fly-grazing's on the increase. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
I'll be meeting some people who're taking extreme measures to tackle | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
problem. And finding out if a new approach by the police and council | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
will stop the Mullanes for good. Are you going to stop grazing your | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
horses on other people's land? BEEP! | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
It's late at night and we've come to a field near Frome in Somerset. The | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
landowner's paid a bailiff to remove some horses from his land. It's a | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
lot simpler than doing it himself. You see, moving a horse is a complex | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
process. It's a legal minefield. If you want to remove a fly-grazed | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
horse from your land, by law you have to give the owner 14 days' | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
notice. You can do this by putting up a sign in the field where the | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
horse is. If you don't hear anything from the owner within that time, you | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
are allowed to remove the animal, but first you have to pay for a | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
horse passport and a microchip. And to get those, you have to take | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
ownership of the horse. No wonder the owner of this field | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
has chosen a much simpler option - he's paid for a horse bailiff. It's | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
expensive, but he transfers all legal responsibility to the bailiff. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
The team discuss tactics. The most important thing is not to be | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
detected by the owner who's believed to be a traveller living nearby. The | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
animals are quite docile and it doesn't take much to get them under | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
control. We've got head collars on three of | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
the animals. And they're the three that we've selected to take. I'll be | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
calling the lorry in a moment, and once the lorry's here we're going to | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
load them and we're going to be away. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
One by one, they're loaded into the horse box. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Getting them on the box is always the biggest challenge. Hopefully, | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
we're not compromised. These animals are now classed as | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
abandoned and are being taken to a horse welfare charity. A lot of | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
fly-grazed animals are owned by gypsies and travellers. But there's | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
a couple of brothers who are prolific at it. They live on this | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
council-funded traveller site near Winterbourne in South | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Gloucestershire. They're big horse breeders. But they don't like | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
grazing their animals here. Oh no, they like to bring them here. To | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
this stretch of Severn Beach. But with 40 foot tides and a busy | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
railway line, it can be treacherous for horses. These are the Mullanes, | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Eddie and brother Connie. In April, they were caught on CCTV fly-grazing | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
this animal there. However, the only criminal act they committed was to | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
cut the fence. Fly-grazing itself is not a crime. It's a civil matter, so | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
how do you police it? Avon and Somerset Constabulary has been | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
struggling but that might be about to change. | :05:12. | :05:23. | |
It has been very difficult. Some of the powers we thought we had | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
available to us didn't really provide the robustness that we | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
thought we would want. Unable to bring a case under criminal law, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
they've now teamed up with South Gloucestershire Council to use Anti | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
Social Behaviour legislation. Yes, explain to me how the ASBO rules | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
were used in this case? Anti Social Behaviour Orders allow us to take | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
action against people where quite often there isn't criminal law to | :05:46. | :06:01. | |
deal with those offences. We use them to protect the wider community, | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
to protect the residents in south Gloucestershire and it allows us to | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
ask for prohibitions which prevent people from engaging in certain | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
acts. If they're successful, it'll be the first time a full ASBO has | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
been used to deal with fly-grazing in the UK. The case is being heard | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
at North Avon Magistrate's Court in Yate, but only Eddie's turned up to | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
the hearing. Well, Mr Mullane's in court at the | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
moment. When he comes out, I'm going to ask him why he does it, and | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
whether this is enough to make him stop. | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
An increasing number of fly-grazed horses are ending up at the | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Whitchurch-based charity Horseworld. It currently has 48 on its books. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
That's nearly half of all its animals - a 21% increase on last | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
year. Gerry Watkins is in charge of animal | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
welfare here. So who's actually doing this? Who's | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
responsible? Certainly, our empirical evidence is | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
a lot of this is to do with the travelling community. | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
So it's travellers who are buying horses, selling horses, but they're | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
using the fly-grazing to save money. It's about profits. It's like any | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
industry - if you're spending money on fodder and renting ground on | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
which to put animals, then that's biting into your profits. | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
One of the horses they've rescued was found on Severn Beach in the | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
middle of winter with no food or water. We're told it belonged to | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
Eddie Mullane. It's going to be a pretty stark case | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
we're going to now, a gelding that we rescued last year and he was in | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
real dire straits. The horse he wants me to see is | :07:36. | :07:47. | |
being held in a secret location. We drive along the motorway for half an | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
hour to get there. The fly-grazed animals Horseworld rescues are kept | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
away from the charity's land. Because if the owner knew where they | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
were, he might steal them back. And it's this particular animal here. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
The one on the left. Indeed it is. That is Severn Up. And what's the | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
story with Severn Up? Severn Up. Interesting fella, really. He was in | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
seriously dire straits when we were called. We went out to the location | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
and found in fact he wasn't just lying down - he was in full | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
collapse. Deathly cold, very emaciated and extremely close to | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
death. We quickly got a veterinary surgeon on site and it was certainly | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
her opinion that the animal would have died in the next hour or so. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
What's interesting, he was right alongside a hole and it was | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
subsequently proved that this was his grave. This had been dug by the | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
individual who had been fly-grazing on this ground. This animal was so | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
collapsed and frail that he had no value, and his intention was, once | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
he'd died, he was going to roll him into a hole and cover him with soil. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Horseworld estimates the number of fly-grazed animals nationwide to be | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
in the region of 4,000. So how have the Mullanes got on in court? After | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
two hours of deliberations, the court rules against them. Eddie's | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
been given 48 hours to remove his horses from Severn Beach. It's the | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
first time an ASBO has been used in this way in England. This may be the | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
beginning of the end for fly-grazing. What we want to do is | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
send out a very clear message locally and nationally that this is | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
a way you can deal with it if you are a strong partnership, and we | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
feel we have that with the local authority and ourselves, but also | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
the fact that we will come and we will challenge you. Let's find out | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
what he has to say for himself. Mr Mullane, why do you dump so many of | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
your horses on other people's land? BEEP! Are you going to stop it? | :09:35. | :09:57. | |
BEEP! Are you going to stop grazing the horses? Have you anything to | :09:58. | :10:14. | |
say? You have upset a lot of people. What about the harm you have done to | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
horses? Thanks to this ground-breaking legal | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
action, Eddie and his brother Connie now have ASBOs banning them from | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
keeping horses on land without prior permission. What's happened here | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
today could be an example for other authorities to follow. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Coming up, what do you do with an old neglected jet plane? They've | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
found a new home for it and it's about to take to the skies for one | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
last time. Supporting a child with mental | :10:38. | :10:51. | |
health problems can be a struggle for any parent. But for one mother | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
of an 11-year old boy, things became even more difficult when the centre | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
that was supporting him closed down. This is their story. The Lumsden | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
Walker Service in Bristol provided essential help for children with | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
significant mental health problems and for their parents often | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
struggling to cope. The Lumsden Walker Service in Bristol helped | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
children with psychiatric illnesses. In May, it shut its doors for the | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
last time. But before it closed, we met those | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
it helped. What's the point of closing down | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
something which helps kids? I could not believe that they could | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
actually do that, knowing these are the children who need the help the | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
most. And the families who struggled to | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
get support before it shut. Time is something that isn't there anymore. | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
So it does feel a bit bleak right now. | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
And we look to the future, and what support will be put in its place. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
What will happen to these young people? Are they being abandoned? | :11:48. | :11:59. | |
I've got lots of books up there. One in ten children is diagnosed with | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
mental illness. 11-year-old Will is one of them. | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
I used to have a massive wardrobe there, but I smashed it down. I used | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
to have a massive glass thing there, but I smashed it. You can see up | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
here, there are marks from years ago. I think I threw something at | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
the wall like a glass ball. Will was just a toddler when was | :12:14. | :12:23. | |
referred to Bristol's mental health service. As he got older, his | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
behaviour became even less manageable. He'd swear at people, | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
kick the teachers. He'd come home and he'd hit me, break my things, | :12:30. | :12:38. | |
hurt his brother. Although Will was at nearly the | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
highest level of support, the family still wasn't coping. You have a | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
child that has a behavioural problem, and not understanding why | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
they're like it. People looking at you as if you can't control your | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
child. I cried a lot, you know. It was not good. | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
Lorna asked for more help. Will was invited to the Lumsden Walker | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
Service, based at the Fairfield Resource Centre in Bristol. There | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
was a parent support group, and regular appointments with | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
specialists. They've been a lot of help to me. | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
Now I'm like a proper normal person. Will has now finished his treatment, | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
but one of his friends, called Elliot, is still using the Lumsden | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Walker Service. We first meet the family in April. They've just found | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
out about the closure. I thought, what's going to happen? | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
My own anxiety is that if things get worse down the road, where are we | :13:38. | :13:47. | |
going to go? Who's going to help us? They helped me and I want it to | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
carry on. But, it can't unfortunately. It would be nice to | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
carry on, because I worry quite a lot. Sometimes I don't understand | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
what I'm doing and maybe with my temper, because I still get a bit | :14:01. | :14:14. | |
angry sometimes. The families are trying to find out | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
why the centre's closing. North Bristol NHS Trust says fewer young | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
people are using it, making it difficult to keep it open. It's two | :14:22. | :14:31. | |
weeks before the centre closes, and families still haven't been told | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
whether there'll be a replacement service. Lorna's just been to a | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
meeting with the council. They've told her about a possible | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
alternative. What I don't understand is why | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
they're investing money in something new when there is already an | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
existing service in place, which is working very well. | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
A new team of specialists will be employed by Bristol City Council | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
rather than the health trust.But Elliot's family hasn't been told | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
about the new service. It's May, and the centre closed a week ago. I | :15:02. | :15:20. | |
can't believe they have shut down some fantastically trained staff who | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
helped parents to understand and cope with their children, and to | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
throw them out on the street, that's how it feels. A letter's arrived in | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
the post. It says the Lumsden Walker service has been withdrawn by the | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
health trust. Charlotte hasn't been offered an alternative. In fact, the | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
letter advises her to call the police, if Elliot is violent towards | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
her or his sister Emily. He's still at primary school. | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
It feels very daunting to me. I've invested a lot of effort in looking | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
after my children. If that's the solution to care, then it doesn't | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
work for me. It doesn't make sense to me either. He's an 11-year-old | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
boy. North Bristol NHS Trust says it's | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
always advised families to contact the police if they need urgent help. | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
But one former probation officer says before it closed, the Lumsden | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Walker Service kept youths on the right side of the law. | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
It meant these young people were not going to end up going to court, were | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
not going to end up being arrested by the police. They would be helped | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
in other ways. Mike Campbell is part of the Protect | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
Our NHS group in Bristol. He's been asking why the Lumsden Walker unit | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
was closed, on behalf of parents and former staff members. | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
I think there's been a muddle around the process. I think at the same | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
time North Bristol Trust is having to make cuts. But we're talking | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
about cuts affecting the most vulnerable people in society. It may | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
not be able to reopened, but they should ensure these services are | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
continued to be provided. North Bristol NHS Trust says the | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
same help will be provided through other services. But it's now four | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
months since the unit shut, and Charlotte's still struggling to deal | :17:11. | :17:21. | |
with the closure. It's just gone and you literally are on your own. | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
Elliot's now been discharged from the mental health service | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
completely, and the family's paying for private help. If Elliot becomes | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
unwell, they've been warned social services could step in. We are just | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
not sure what is going on. We feel quite blatant -- threatened and we | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
are doing the best we can to look after children, but it feels very | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
scary to me. Unlike Elliot, Will finished his | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
treatment before the Lumsden Walker Service closed. Thanks to the help | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
he received there, he's just started mainstream secondary school. | :18:01. | :18:12. | |
I'm going to try to focus on everything so I can get better and | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
good grades, and better behaviour, so I can get better stuff in my | :18:16. | :18:29. | |
life. I'm really excited. Will was fortunate to get the help he needed | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
before the service closed. But Charlotte feels her family's been | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
left without help and with little hope. If you don't look after the | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
children when they really need the help and are learning, later on they | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
will become a problem to society and that is what they think is going to | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
happen. In our final film tonight, we tell | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
the story of Britain's first ever jet fighter, the Gloster Meteor. It | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
first took flight 70 years ago and as you can imagine there aren't many | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
left today. Well, this summer we followed an audacious campaign to | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
rescue one of the few remaining planes. | :19:03. | :19:18. | |
70 years ago a Meteor went through our sky at incredible speed. In | :19:19. | :19:35. | |
1943, they took one of Frank Whittle jet engines and put it in one of the | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
new planes. A new age in aviation history began. One of these has been | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
resting at barracks just outside Gloucester since 1981. It used to | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
stand guard at the gate but has recently been left a bit unloved, | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
standing alone between a couple of buildings. But not for much longer. | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
They have found a new home for it and with the help of this Chinook | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
it's about to take to the sky one last time! This Meteor T7 has just | :20:09. | :20:19. | |
been bought by the local Jet Air Museum soon to open at Gloucester | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
Airport. But as it is not fit for flying on its own, the MOD is coming | :20:27. | :20:38. | |
to the rescue. Six weeks before the planned helicopter lift and the | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
Chinook ringing crew is coming to check if it will be possible to air | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
lift the plane. Today, it is an initial safety check. You have to | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
take safety into account every time so we do not want to lift it and | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
find it bends or we lose part of the aircraft. For over a decade a small | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
team have been dreaming of opening the Jet Age Museum to preserve | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
Gloucestershire's rich aviation heritage. Martin Clarke is part of | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
the museum team and together with a friend, just bought the plane for | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
the Museum for ?3000. The Gloster Meteor can claim to be the first jet | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
fighter to enter operational service. Is it significant beyond | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
that? What does it mean to you? It was the very first Allied jet | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
aircraft which flew as part of the RAF but it was not allowed to fly | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
over enemy territory because they had secured some of these materials, | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
the end of the war could have been drastically different. What would it | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
mean to you to see the plane landing close to this museum you have worked | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
so hard to build? It is such an important history. After the Second | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
World War, the Gloster Meteor played a vital role in the export market | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
but even more importantly it marked the beginning of a new age in | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
aviation. How important was it to the new age of jet travel? It is the | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
first step. The general public go on holiday now from big airports but 70 | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
years ago, this was the start. It broke the speed record a couple of | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
times and the first jet era followed in the next decade. It set the civil | :22:34. | :22:50. | |
aviation scene on the road. Four weeks before the planned helicopter | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
left, -- lift, the rigging crew is back. They want to do a test lift | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
with a crane but first they have to move it from its current location. | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
But wet grass means this may prove more difficult than anticipated. No | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
truck to pull it. Let's do it by hand. | :23:09. | :23:21. | |
As soon as it was moving, once it was off the grass, it was very easy. | :23:22. | :24:00. | |
For Martin, seeing this is particularly significant. 25 years | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
ago, he met his wife while restoring the plane. I was introduced to a new | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
member of the restoration group. I fell in love with her immediately | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
and after that, we were married by the time my daughter was born and we | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
remained married for seven years before she died from cancer. I | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
brought my daughter up on my own after that and as a tribute to my | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
wife, I bought the Gloster Meteor along with one of my colleagues from | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
the museum. With the Meteor finally moved on to a hard surface, they can | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
now test and adjust the rigging to make sure that on the day of the | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
helicopter lift, the plane is safely secured. Looks spot on. This | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
particular Meteor was in service between 1949 until 1968 and saw | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
service including Malta. And one of its pilots was no other than Lord | :25:06. | :25:17. | |
Tebbit. I bought a microwave oven recently and the instruction book | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
was longer than it was for the Gloster Meteor. I am not sure what I | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
should conclude from that. Victor W 453. That is what I flew back in | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
1951, somewhere about them. There is a battered old log book here which | :25:40. | :25:49. | |
records that flight. I think what struck me about it was the | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
breathtaking performance in terms of the acceleration down the runway and | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
then they pull up into the claim which was vastly more rapid than | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
anything I had experienced before. All of that comes back when I think | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
about it. After weeks of preparation, that's | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
it. Lord Tebbit's old plane is finally going to get airborne for | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
one last time. I think I can see it, should be a now. | :26:23. | :27:05. | |
It looks really good, in line with the helicopter and it is flying. | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Isn't that terrific? Hundreds of people have come to look | :27:10. | :27:23. | |
at the air lift and after its short flight to Gloucester airport it | :27:24. | :27:35. | |
lands safely next to his new home. Thank you very much. That is | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
wonderful. It is here! So thanks to the determination of a | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
few plane fanatics together with the help of the MOD, a 70-year-old piece | :27:47. | :27:48. | |
of British aviation heritage will now be preserved for future | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
generations. But for Martin, this was always personal. What better | :27:56. | :28:04. | |
tribute could I give to my wife, the aircraft that she actually worked | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
on, and it's part of my history as well as the museum's. | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
Well that's just about it for this week but if you'd like to keep in | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
touch with what we're up to then you can find us Twitter. Or you can | :28:19. | :28:27. | |
email us. But from all of us here in Severn Beach, thanks for watching | :28:28. | :28:36. | |
and good night. Next week, faith in Bristol. | :28:37. | :28:49. | |
We go undercover to investigate religious discrimination. They | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
seemed very nice to your face but the reality is different. | :28:56. | :28:58. |
