Hello, good evening, and welcome to a special | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
from RAF Waddington near Lincoln, marking 100 years of aviation | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
Heading back into battle: As Lincolnshire typhoons ard set | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
to rejoin the fight against IS, the government says the RAF | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
in the county is in the "front line" of national defence. | :00:26. | :00:36. | |
the visit is being fought a Lincolnshire the RAF. | :00:37. | :00:53. | |
The government commits that the long-term future although Rdad | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Cammack Cardoza but will th`t be a Lincolnshire? | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
Empty waiting rooms - as hundreds of appointments | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
and operations are cancelled because of a computer virus. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
And we're going back to the pioneering days of flight | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
and Lincolnshire's place in aviation history. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Good evening and welcome to the programme here at RAF Waddington | :01:21. | :01:39. | |
marking 100 years of servicd from year and from crime well in | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Scampton. RAF Waddington opdned in 1916 and in its time has bedn | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
operational during World War I and World War II and the Cold W`r and | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
also more recent conflicts. It is also the home of the drone | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
many miles away. It is also the home many miles away. It is also the home | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
to two aircraft. This Century which we will be going on. --Sentry And | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
the centre now which is being used in the other side of the world in | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
the fight against terrorism. It brings a lot of account in the form | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
of tourism and business. How important is this to | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
If you live in Lincolnshire, the sites and sounds of the RAF | :02:40. | :03:00. | |
The breathtaking displays of the Red Arrows in the skhes | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
above RAF Scampton, while W`ddington is the RAF's surveillance | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
And for a century, RAF Cranwell has trained new officers, | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Today the county plays a central role in national security. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
The intelligence at Waddington, that's a centre of excellence | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
for all the intelligence work that supports Iraq, | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Syria and operations around the world. | :03:17. | :03:17. | |
So generally it's an ideal place that's built up over | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
the years and continues, if you like, to develop | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
And Coningsby is the home of the Typhoon fleet. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
They can be supersonic in 30 seconds, ready | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
Five operational bases across Lincolnshire employ | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
around 9,500 RAF personnel and civilian staff. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
A report looking at a base ` similar size to Waddington estimated it | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
generates more than ?90 million for the local economy, | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
while aviation tourism brings more than 150,000 visitors | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
The Panton family run this luseum at the old East Kirkby | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
The main attraction, taxi runs in this Lancaster bomber, | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
The Lancaster rides are abott a year in advance, we are looking | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
If you think about all the `viation sites in the county, | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
and how popular aviation history is in the country at the molent | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
there is millions of pounds spent in Lincolnshire. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Then there are the businessds that work with the RAF. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
This Lincolnshire firm provides safety advice. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
It's also designed new technology to detect unauthorised dronds. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
We have all got a vast wealth of experience operating all around | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
the world in different theatres with surveillance technologhes. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Most of our guys have got over ,000 hours flying experience. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
So across Lincolnshire, the RAF is part of the soci`l | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
So that's the importance of the RAF in economic terms to Lincolnshire. | :04:48. | :05:03. | |
But what about the contribution of the bases to national security?? | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
On a recent visit to RAF Waddington I asked | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
the Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon about that. | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
This is a campaign to protect Britain as well as a driving terrace | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
out of Iraq and it is about keeping our streets safer and we have to do | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
this appalling terrorist organisation. The RAF bases yearling | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
which are really at the front line of that. -- here and Lincolnshire. | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
About of a third of the surveillance from the air comes British planes. | :05:44. | :05:52. | |
We are providing some of thd strike aircraft as well as those ftnds and | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
Waddington. Why is the government is so committed to using unmanned | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
aircraft and one at the momdnt? It is much safer for the crews who are | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
involved and it is much mord cost-effective and it can bd used | :06:08. | :06:08. | |
for longer hours over the t`rget and for longer hours over the t`rget and | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
much more precise. This is the new type of air warfare now, unlanned | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
planes but operating to exactly the same rules of engagement as I | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
approved for the targeted strikes that are carried out by Typhoons and | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
Cammack tornadoes. -- tornadoes Is the future of the base is sdcure? | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
The BCCI that huge part of the Royal air force. -- the bases. Thdre is a | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
beautiful history going all the way back to the dambusters squadron -- | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
wonderful history. The RAF will be here for a long time to comd and it | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
has always been an ideal pl`ce for the RAF to operate from. I know you | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
from the air. A couple of ydars ago from the air. A couple of ydars ago | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
David Cameron says he must `lways have the Arrows. Do you havd the | :07:09. | :07:19. | |
same feelings, and does do Lay? They are out today flying in Hong Kong | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
and China and promoting Britain s defence industries right across the | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Far East as we speak. They `re a key part of defence and eventually we | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
will have two replace the ahrcraft so we will start to think about that | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
the next year or two but I would certainly not to see them. Hf you're | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
thinking about replacing aircraft the answers they are guaranteed | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
They will be here to stay for a while yet. They are a key p`rt of | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
our defence engagement as wd call it around the rest of the world and I | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
don't think the public would let us lose them very easily. That is not a | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
fighter would have. They ard extremely popular with the public | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
could air shows and also an important part our defence | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
diplomacy. We are marking 100 years of RAF service at Scampton `nd | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
Waddington are crammed well. When you reflect a mercy of their | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
operations, how important is Lincolnshire as a county to the RAF | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
and the defence of the nation? Lincolnshire has been centr`l to the | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
the Dambusters squadron in the the Dambusters squadron in the | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Second World War. I remember the Balkan bombers are bombing the Port | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
Stanley runner in the Falkl`nds War. -- of Vulcan. Lincolnshire hs | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
central to the RDF story and long may it continue to be. -- R@F. The | :08:49. | :08:58. | |
Defence Secretary talking to me on Friday of last week. Interesting | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
comments about the red arrows and our future which seems assured. And | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
the bases in the county. Their future is guaranteed | :09:06. | :09:18. | |
but will it be in Lincolnshhre? I look forward to hearing from you | :09:19. | :09:38. | |
and will have some of your comments. Thank you for watching. We `re live | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
at RAF Waddington and later in the programme will be looking at | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
ligatures place in aviation history. More than 1000 people have had | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
medical appointments or operations cancelled across Lincolnshire | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
because of a computer virus. It's caused what the hospit`l trust | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
has described as a major incident More from our Health | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Correspondent, Vicky Johnson. Empty clinics, empty chairs tell | :09:59. | :10:10. | |
a story of cancelled appointments and operations - | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
all because a virus attacked I have been in this organis`tion for | :10:13. | :10:26. | |
than 20 years and I've never seen the structure like this. Thhs | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
outpatients waiting room is on a picture of activity for pathents and | :10:34. | :10:34. | |
staff but today it is eagerly quiet. Hospitals in Grimsby Scunthorpe and | :10:35. | :10:50. | |
gullible been affected. Alan Limb has needed surgerx | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
on his ankle for months - he thought today was the dax - | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
but the cyber attack means he could be waiting weeks | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
longer for his operation. It could be Christmas are after I | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
never dreamt of anything like this. How people can hack | :11:07. | :11:19. | |
into these systems and put Um, a bit surprised but then that's | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
today's life, that's Agencies say this is happenhng. It | :11:23. | :11:45. | |
could be kept at it could bd a cyber idiocy and a good bit government in | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
other parts of the world. It is scary. Some clinics have bedn | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
running normally but destruction elsewhere is led to continud. If you | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
are due to have an operation are an outpatient appointment tomorrow we | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
will be contacting you. The advice for the United Lincolnshire trust is | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
for patients to turn up as planned unless they hear otherwise but even | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
when all the IT systems are back up and running a backlog of | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
cancellations could take wedks to clear. We will continue to follow | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
that story in the next day or two. Police have begun excavating a field | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
off the A17 in Lincolnshire after receiving new information over | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
the disappearance of a man nearly 20 Michael Hewerdine was last seen | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
at his home in Ruskington Police are now treating it | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
as a murder investigation and are digging at an address | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
at East Heckington between Michael went missing on the 21st of | :12:45. | :12:58. | |
November 1996 so he has been missing for nearly 20 years. It is being | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
dealt with as a mode of enqtiry and these cases are continually reviewed | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
throughout the process and we can confirm now that new lead to new | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
information has led us to this area information has led us to this area | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
where we are searching and we expect to be outside for one to two weeks. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
-- on that site. Hospital managers say they're not | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
in a position to reopen Grantham Hospital's Accident | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
and Emergency department The department closed at night | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
earlier this year because A meeting today has heard progress | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
has been made recruiting more doctors - but it still would not be | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
safe to run the department `round the clock because none of | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
the new staff has started work yet. It's been announced that | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
all the libraries in East Yorkshire will stay open but their hotrs | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
will be reduced. East Riding Council is keephng | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
a library or multi-service centre It's also agreed to continud the | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
mobile service with reduced hours. Three of Britain's leading | :13:47. | :14:03. | |
orchestras will perform in towns across East Yorkshire next xear | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
as part of UK City of Culture. There'll be concerts by Sinfonia | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
Viva, The Royal Philharmonic and the Manchester Camerata | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
in Pocklington, Withernsea, With infrastructure we have in this | :14:14. | :14:26. | |
area we need to concentrate on bringing music to the communities so | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
it is bringing music to your doorstep. That's why orchestras live | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
are supported by arts counchl England to do this kind of work and | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
bring orchestras to where they would not normally calm and we hope the | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
result of this that the will becoming more often. Some great news | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
for music lovers in East Yorkshire. We are live and hang a 51 at RAF | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Waddington. I'm sure I would've enjoyed it if he | :14:53. | :15:17. | |
had invited me, looking the planes. Feeling chilly this morning. I will | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
differences between the air masses differences between the air masses | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
affecting us in the UK. The colder air is blue and the yellow `nd | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
orange is one area that has been squashed away by the cold ahr. It is | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
here to stay over the next few days as well. Tomorrow we're aftdr chilly | :15:35. | :15:39. | |

couple of show is just off the coast and then redraft a little f`rther | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
inland. For most of us it is a dry night was clear spells. As ` result | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
temperatures down to three or four Celsius tonight which will feel | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
quite chilly. The sun rises tomorrow morning at performers by seven and | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
high water tomorrow is at jtst 25 past seven and 22 eight. Sole mist | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
and fog patches tomorrow and some mist and fog which will all ten to | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
clear with sunny spells by the time we get the afternoon. Again maybe | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
just the odd shower drifting a little but further inland in the | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Humber area down to watch the war should become further inland and it | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
will be dry. -- down towards The Wash. It will feel a lot colder | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
High pressure will still be in charge of the next couple of days | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
and then rotates in a clockwise fashion drying in the colder clear | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
from the north saw certainlx filling colder over the next few daxs. | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
Fingers crossed, it will be dry They have their own meteorological | :16:43. | :17:00. | |
office here because that is how much they trust Paul. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
We're live at RAF Waddington tonight marking 100 years | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
of history here and at RAF Cranwell and Scampton. | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
This is the Sentinel R1 - one of the most sophisticatdd | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
and top secret planes in the modern Air Force. | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
It's used to provide intellhgence about what's happening on the ground | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
And it's based right here at Waddington. | :17:16. | :17:27. | |
It's just one example of the important role this base | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
and the others in Lincolnshhre have within the modern RAF | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
and the history of the nation's defence. | :17:33. | :18:14. | |
Once home to airships its bdcome the base for all pilot | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
training in the RAF - including Prince William - | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
and thousands of RAF Air Cadets from right across the UK. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
Back in the early years of flight RAF Cranwell had a key role | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
helping dare devil aviators push their planes to the lilit. | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
Look at the size of hangar 41. The Sentinel is one of the plands | :18:28. | :18:48. | |
providing surveillance for the RAF. This is as close as I'm allowed to | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
get. We were not allowed anxwhere near inside this plane. It hs that | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
secret. We were not allowed to broadcast inside it. But thd good | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
news is that they did allow me in the Century. --Sentry It has a | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
famous radar dome on top. They did allow me in that and Adam is the | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
tactical director for the crew and last week he showed me around. That | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
is what everybody knows, thd dome of it. It is the rotor dome encased in | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
it is the radar and is a six feet tall by 30 feet across. Seldcted | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
actually stand aside that. Xou can in our engineers do that. And yet it | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
looks like a mushroom from here It is a Boeing 707 airframe satnters | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
large and makes the rotor sdem deceivingly small. What information | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
is give you great murky detdcts anything and detects all thdir | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
contacts can see Animalia and put it through to the computer to the side | :19:58. | :19:58. | |
-- inside silicon processor. Let's -- inside silicon processor. Let's | :19:59. | :20:08. | |
go and look. What are these, beds? There are three year and three just | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
when they're not doing any work just when they're not doing any work just | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
discover lie down and the flight? This is where you set. Your seat is | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
not fit the controls. Why's that? We face away from the consoles for and | :20:23. | :20:31. | |
landing. -- take-off and landing. What information will be told by the | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
screen from the radar dome? We get a series of dots that may givd | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
information or it it is quite a lot of information but as a teal we | :20:41. | :20:41. | |
process that act on it. So daughters process that act on it. So daughters | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
daughter is weather this activity and you inform the pilots of weather | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
another aircraft? The team hs broken down. Half of is responsibld for | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
surveillance and the other have is responsible for what we call weapons | :20:55. | :20:58. | |

tend that is responsible for surveillance and the other half is | :21:01. | :21:03. | |

charge of the whole rear of the aircraft. The dog more surrdal | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
aircraft 300 miles away? Thd Rangers classified. I read it is cl`ssified. | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
-- the range is classified. I'm on the captaincy, this is a good | :21:21. | :21:25. | |

head of production 1991. -- went out of production. You are so hhgh up. | :21:45. | :21:56. | |
Yes, it is a big aircraft. Does the dome, being so big in the top? Does | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
that have an effect on the `ircraft flying? Largely does not. You think | :22:02. | :22:12. | |
it would drag it. It is in ` dam at -- it neutral, they say. -- idyll | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
dynamically neutral. It s not just RAF Waddington | :22:17. | :22:30. | |
marking its centenary this xear RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshird is also | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
marking 100 years of Once home to airships its bdcome | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
