We bid goodbye to the helicopter is all from us.

:00:00.:00:17.

We bid goodbye to the helicopter that has been based here for 50

has attended a ceremony at RAF Benson, as the base beghns to

the base in the next two ye`rs. Here's our Business Correspondent,

:01:07.:01:16.

Alastair Fee. His Royal Highness joined n`val

personnel to mark the end of an era. RAF Benson has two squadrons, today

:01:33.:01:43.

saw 78 Squadron disbanded, part of the helicopter force of the Royal

:01:44.:01:48.

Navy. It is a sad day. We h`ve known it was coming from thing, btt it is

:01:49.:01:53.

also a celebration of history. It is sad to see it go, but to hand it

:01:54.:01:57.

over to a bunch of friends hs a huge honour. It was announced th`t they

:01:58.:02:04.

would cease to be an RDF asset and move over to the Navy as part of

all have left by the summer of 016. There has been much speculation as

:02:38.:02:42.

to what is next. The most t`lked about option as a training school

:02:43.:02:49.

fortunate. I have been taking a look back and assessing the impact on the

:02:50.:02:55.

base. They have seen plenty of action in recent years. Thex help

:02:56.:03:01.

bring troops home from Iraq in 008, but their most important role came

:03:02.:03:02.

later. With ground troops vulnerable to

:03:03.:03:11.

roadside bombs in Afghanist`n, RAF Benson's Merlins were c`lled to

:03:12.:03:14.

help out. I have served here for four and a

:03:15.:03:24.

half years. I have done fivd tours in Afghanistan with them. It has

:03:25.:03:31.

been good to serve with thel. For many this is a real opportunity to

:03:32.:03:35.

go off and do something tot`lly different.

:03:36.:03:39.

The freedom of Wallingford has seen par`des

:03:40.:03:41.

In 2012 the town paid tribute to the Merlins on their return

:03:42.:03:45.

My best estimate of the economic impact is we probably have half a

:03:46.:03:53.

dozen shops and other busindsses in the town that we would not have

:03:54.:04:22.

thriving station. Perhaps they are going `` merlins are going hn

:04:23.:04:24.

different directions, but wd have no reason to worry about it at the

:04:25.:04:28.

moment. I think probably we are going to have a good relationship

:04:29.:04:31.

with Benson for many years to come. Over the next two years RAF Benson

:04:32.:04:36.

will lose hundreds of peopld ` Until the Government confirls who

:04:37.:04:39.

will be coming to replace Whether it will help the qudues is

:04:40.:06:43.

only known once the traffic gets used to using it. The road has taken

:06:44.:06:54.

seven years to complete frol when the work started to the stage that

:06:55.:07:06.

this is that. There was a dhscussion about the number of units that

:07:07.:07:09.

needed completed before the road came into being. We pushed back

:07:10.:07:14.

slightly because of the recdssion to 1500 units, but the celebration will

:07:15.:07:27.

not be achieved until this road is completed. Thousands of homds are

:07:28.:07:30.

planned in Ailesbury, and ddvelopers need to help meet the cost, meaning

:07:31.:07:35.

any new road seems years aw`y. I would urge the County Counchl to

:07:36.:07:42.

prioritise a relief road and then go on to see if they can delivdr the

:07:43.:07:48.

bypass that the residents are crying out for. Su development and

:07:49.:07:54.

infrastructure, a difficult balance to achieve but impossible to

:07:55.:07:57.

celebrate. It's the last day for peopld

:07:58.:08:02.

in parts of Northamptonshird and Buckinghamshire to have

:08:03.:08:04.

their say over compensation, for plans to build the new

:08:05.:08:06.

High Speed 2 railway line. Campaign groups claim more than

:08:07.:08:09.

170,000 homes will be affected by the route and only 3,000 are

:08:10.:08:11.

likely to get compensation. If approved, work on the ?43 billion

:08:12.:08:14.

project will start in 2017. The deadline for comments

:08:15.:08:17.

closes just before midnight. Work to resurface and widen

:08:18.:08:19.

London Road in Oxford will begin It's one the busiest routes

:08:20.:08:22.

into the city, with around 16,000 vehicles using it each

:08:23.:08:25.

day through Headington. Campaigners had raised concdrns the

:08:26.:08:33.

road was becoming dangerous, with large potholes causing cars and

:08:34.:08:35.

cyclists to swerve to avoid them. The ?2 million project is expected

:08:36.:08:41.

to be finished by May next xear A new support group for people with

:08:42.:08:44.

a lung condition has started in Oxford, which doctors sax will

:08:45.:08:47.

help those affected cope better Around 5,000 people die

:08:48.:08:51.

of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Funding for the new support group,

:08:52.:08:53.

at Oxford's Churchill Hospital, has partly come from the

:08:54.:09:04.

British Lung foundation. Victoria Cook has been to

:09:05.:09:06.

Milton Keynes to find out more. Barry Douglas discovered

:09:07.:09:09.

he has pulmonary fibrosis Now, even simple exercise ldaves him

breathless. I look at a job and think it'll take

:09:12.:09:25.

a couple of hours. It takes me half a day. That is frustrating thing.

:09:26.:09:31.

There is certainly a big amount of frustration that has come whth it.

:09:32.:09:34.

This is a photograph of a healthy lung.

:09:35.:09:37.

But this is a patient with the initial stages of the dhsease.

:09:38.:09:40.

The lung is left scarred, stopping the flow of oxygen.

:09:41.:09:43.

It's not known what exactly causes the disease.

:09:44.:09:49.

Health professionals in Oxford have today launchdd

:09:50.:09:53.

the first support group herd for those suffering with different

:09:54.:09:56.

The aim is not just to give medical advice, but also to help

:09:57.:10:03.

The group has been funded whth donations from the British Lung

When you say you have cancer, everyone understands what that

:10:16.:10:20.

means, and patients with sc`rring lung disease or fibrosis fedl

isolated. They cannot explahn very well to anyone else what thd problem

:10:27.:10:29.

is. It is more common than lany cancers.

:10:30.:10:31.

It hopes to meet once every eight weeks.

:10:32.:10:38.

For Barry, his family and those here today

:10:39.:10:40.

The group is seen as a breath of new hope for their condition

The leaf`patterned sacks were tried out on Cornmarket Street last night.

Some people have called the idea "bonkers" but others were ilpressed

There are not any hedges on that road, that is possibly why they look

at a political conference. Everyone with something to promote,

:13:03.:13:06.

an argument to make. And inside,

:13:07.:13:09.

the lobbying doesn't stop. This year Gatwick Airport is

pressing both Labour and Conservatives with

updates. A lot of people visiting their comments and experiences about

what is happening, that builds up the picture. We can then take it

forward. Last year the second most talked about topic on Facebook

cleared mechanically and stripped of shrubs as well,

to try to deter drug users. It's about time it's done, because

people go in there for other reasons. That's the best pl`n, to

clear the area. My family mdmber went to the park and was stdpping on

Next year marks 800 years shnce King John was forced to sign Magna Carta

:15:53.:16:05.

` a document which marks out the rule of law

:16:06.:16:07.

One of the few remaining copies of the document dating

:16:08.:16:09.

at Salisbury Cathedral and today it was announced that the Cathddral has

:16:10.:16:15.

been awarded nearly half a lillion pounds to improve the way the public

:16:16.:16:18.

see it. Briony Leyland is in Salisbury.

:16:19.:16:24.

Originally had thought they were 13 copies made of Magna Carta, sealed

:16:25.:16:30.

by King John, and brought to places like Salisbury as evidence that the

:16:31.:16:35.

king had listened to his barons and made concessions. Now there are only

:16:36.:16:41.

four in existence. One of the best preserved is kept here in the

:16:42.:16:46.

chapter house. It is kept in semi`darkness, the display `round it

:16:47.:16:50.

is pretty basic and four ye`rs, the cathedral has known that it could do

:16:51.:16:55.

better. Now it has the monex to make changes. You believe this is

:16:56.:17:03.

relevant and important? I think everybody knows how important Magna

:17:04.:17:08.

Carta is, it would the world's key documents, it speaks of freddom of

:17:09.:17:12.

human rights, we are lucky hn Salisbury to have had an orhginal

:17:13.:17:19.

since 1215, it is never movdd out of the Cathedral. So for us it's an

:17:20.:17:23.

important year because a two good years later, we want to draw people

:17:24.:17:31.

in, and see the document for itself `` 800 years later. You want to

:17:32.:17:37.

change the display, which isn't inspiring at the moment, how will it

:17:38.:17:42.

be different? More modern, ht will have an appeal to all ages `nd of

:17:43.:17:45.

course, because it will be brand`new, it will have intdrest

:17:46.:17:49.

because we will be interpreting the document. We will use of thd money

:17:50.:17:55.

the lottery fund have given for community activities, school visits,

:17:56.:18:03.

outreach programmes, there hs a liberty fair, concerts, art

:18:04.:18:09.

installations and this time next year we will finish off with a

:18:10.:18:13.

flower festival. You have a tight deadline to get it up and rtnning by

:18:14.:18:19.

February. Are you confident? We had them thinking about this for a long

:18:20.:18:23.

time, and we were nervous about funding it, because we don't charge

:18:24.:18:27.

for people to come and see Lagna Carta or the Cathedral but now we

:18:28.:18:36.

have got this backing and stpport, which is fantastic we can go up a

:18:37.:18:40.

gear and we will be ready to open up the new exhibition in Febru`ry. Busy

:18:41.:18:45.

months ahead for the team hdre. We had an International table tennis

:18:46.:19:09.

match a couple of years ago. You were very good. I didn't pl`y

:19:10.:19:15.

against these two, they are bit too good.

:19:16.:19:17.

Their names are Duncan and @listair Feltham and they made what's thought

:19:18.:19:20.

to be a bit of sporting history by being the first identical twins

:19:21.:19:23.

to play with and against each other at a major sporting event.

:19:24.:19:26.

The brothers from Bournemouth have found table

:19:27.:19:32.

tennis and sport in general to be a positive aspect of their lives.

:19:33.:19:36.

I went to meet them along whth mum and dad this morning.

:19:37.:19:41.

Alistair Duncan Feltham werd born with learning difficulties. The

:19:42.:19:49.

table tennis has been a way of expressing themselves. Years ago,

:19:50.:19:55.

they were shrinking violets, very nervous, wouldn't mix with people.

:19:56.:20:00.

Now they will go anywhere, they have been all over the world, thdre is no

:20:01.:20:06.

problem. For the past few ydars the brothers, who are 46 and live with

:20:07.:20:12.

family, have been part of a Special Olympics GB. They were to Antwerp

:20:13.:20:18.

earlier this year. The two brothers ended up playing each other.

:20:19.:20:24.

Alastair one 12`10, Duncan came back with a silver medal because it was a

:20:25.:20:29.

round robin event. It is also thought to be a sporting first,

:20:30.:20:33.

identical twins playing with and against each other. When evdryone

:20:34.:20:39.

found out they were the first identical twins in big games, there

:20:40.:20:45.

were cameras everywhere. I thought they would go into the shell and not

:20:46.:20:49.

play well and I hit for the first two games. The brothers won a bronze

:20:50.:20:57.

in the doubles. All the way, their parents have supported them. Do it

:20:58.:21:06.

again? Year. Beat your brother next time! I never believed they would

:21:07.:21:12.

achieve what they have and H'm very proud of them. A that meant for

:21:13.:21:35.

Bournemouth. They seem to fht a bit of a group, winning two and drawing

:21:36.:21:41.

one, only conceding one goal. That is useful when you're facing Derby

:21:42.:21:45.

County, who have only lost two league games this year. Bournemouth

:21:46.:21:53.

are back to the one striker formation, but in Derby, thdy face a

:21:54.:21:58.

pure footballing test. We'vd just heard that the loan keeper hs else

Lovely end the day, each dax this week we have seen a lot of list and

:25:06.:25:11.

fog which has been slow to click in some areas. It has been cle`ring

:25:12.:25:17.

inland areas, with the Troilus of the land. Through the coursd of the

:25:18.:25:23.

night, we are looking at a cloudy scenario. The rain will be `nd

:25:24.:25:33.

patchy, the odd moderate burst. The risk of some mist and fog p`tches

:25:34.:25:38.

and hilltop fog, temperaturds stay mild. It will be a murky, d`mp start

:25:39.:25:47.

tomorrow, gradually the rain clearing eastwards. We will see some

pick`up into Friday and this weather front is heading our way through the

weekend. Some sunshine developing tomorrow after a murky start. Some

hilltop fog reducing visibility on the roads. Thursday, still the risk

of a shower but not as freqtent as Wednesday. Saturday, the rahn will
