closer to the Sun than ever before, and it will help sustain jobs at | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
one of the South's high tech companies. The news that a �245 | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
million contract for the Solar Orbiter satellite has been awarded | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
to Astrium UK is welcome news here in the South, at the end of a week | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
dominated by job losses. It's the icing on the cake for a business | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
that has expanded over the years and now employs 1,500 people in | :01:32. | :01:37. | |

mission to seek out new scientific information and go closer to the | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
Sun than any satellite has been before. Amongst those who will | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
build parts of the �245 million spacecraft are the 1,500 workers | :01:53. | :01:57. | |

growth. This is first and foremost about sustaining jobs, but I | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
suspect we will be slowly growing them and increasing the number of | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
people we Astrium is currently producing about six satellites per | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
year. That is for the telecommunication and TV injuries - | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
- industries. The contract for the orbiter has been enthusiastically | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
welcomed. It gives me a great feeling and the work was a great | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
feeling. Yet again, we are looking at ground-breaking new projects in | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
the south. It will take almost five years to build the orbital | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
satellites which will weigh almost two tons. The plan is to launch it | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Winning the contract is a big boost | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
for Astrium, and with so much reliance on satellites for TV, | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
broadband and navigation systems, there are real expectations that | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
this, as a business, will continue to grow. So what makes exploration | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
of the sun so important that nearly a quarter of a billion pounds is | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
being spent on this project? Rachael Canter attempts to shed | :03:14. | :03:24. | |

It's millions of miles away, and we would be lost without it. But | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
storms on the surface of the sun can disrupt things we use every day, | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
like power grids, telephones or sat-navs. They're triggered by | :03:31. | :03:41. | |
:03:41. | :03:44. | ||
gigantic solar flares. When the charged particles hit the | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
magnetic field of the Earth, they jiggle around. And when the field | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
has that, it can induce currents in long conductors, so things like | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
power grids or even of oil pipelines can get surges of correct | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
and that can cause damage. surges of current. Their | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
spectacular light displays are celebrated by sky watchers. A solar | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
storm in March made the Northern Lights much more visible. But in | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
the past surges have been so strong entire cities have been plunged | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
into darkness. This new satellite will help to forecast solar | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
activity like never before. Hurtling towards the sun is a | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
dangerous mission for any spacecraft, and this one will be | :04:28. | :04:33. | |

just 27 million miles away from the sun.. He to ease a huge problem, so | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
we have designed a shield that will reduce the temperature down to room | :04:44. | :04:48. | |

out. The solar orbiter will begin The jury in the trial of a man | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
accused of strangling his girlfriend in a jealous rage has | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
been told he threatened to kill Emily Longley the day before her | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
body was found in his bed. Elliot Turner denies murdering the | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
aspiring model who was studying at Brockenhurst College. Tom Hepworth | :05:11. | :05:20. | |
Today the court heard from Jasmin Snook, here she is with Emily, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
who's highlighted with a pink arrow, leaving a bar on the night she died | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
after arguing with Elliot Turner. She said that Emily had told Elliot | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
their relationship was over but he was obsessive and couldn't accept | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
that. She said the previous night he suspected she was meeting | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
another man at a nightclub. She told the jury that Eliot Turner | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
tried to take a mobile phone to find out where Emily was. She was | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
pretty scared, she told the court and also said that Mr Turner was | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
angry and said he was going to smash MLAs based in and did not | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
care if he did 10 years, and she was going down. -- Emily's face. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
The court heard he went looking for them armed with a hammer and later | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
told Jasmin he'd hit her over the head with it and killed her. He | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
then burst out laughing and said it was a joke. She added that Mr | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Turner said, "in a parallel universe he would have killed her | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
because she pushed him to it". On Emily's last night alive, Miss | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Snook told the court she'd texted her to ask if she was alright, and | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Emily replied "I'm OK, I'll go home I'm not staying with Turner" She | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
never arrived and her body was found in Mr Turner's bed at his | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
parents house. The prosecution say he strangled her. | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Elliott Turner denies murder. His parents are also on trial, accused | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
of covering up for their son. All three deny attempting to pervert | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
the course of justice and the trial continues. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
A court's heard former Labour MP Margaret Moran is not fit to stand | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
trial on charges of fiddling her parliamentary expenses. That | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
includes dishonestly claiming more than �22,000 to repair dry rot at | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
her Southampton home. Mrs Moran, seen here last year, was not at | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
today's hearing, when a psychiatrist told Lewes Crown Court | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
that the former MP for Luton South was suffering from a depressive | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
illness and couldn't participate in court proceedings. She's alleged to | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
have "flipped" her designated second home, making claims for this | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
property in St Denys, as well as An investigation's begun into the | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
cause of a fire which forced the evacuation of a hotel in Brighton | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
last night. Guests staying at the Holiday Inn had to be led to safety | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
after the blaze broke out in a basement electrical room. East | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Sussex firefighters were called to the 21-storey hotel on the seafront | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
around 11:20pm. Smoke from the fire spread to the floors above. No one | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
was injured. At the trial of West Sussex hunt | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
members accused of illegal fox hunting, the impartiality of a key | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
witness has been questioned. Four people from the Crawley and Horsham | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Hunt are accused of breaking the hunting ban. The defence has | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
started an application to have the case thrown out. Mark Sanders | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
:08:08. | :08:09. | ||
At the heart of the cases whether the accused hunt members were | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
involved in illegal fox-hunting or taking part in entirely legitimate | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
trail hunting. That is when a centre is laid for the hounds to | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
follow and there is no intention to pursue wild animals. Horsham | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
magistrates' courts has seen videos taken by the hunt monitors of the | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
Crawley and Horsham Hunt during incidents last year. Prosecution | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
witness, Professor Stephen Harris, an international expert on foxes, | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
said he could not see any evidence of trail hunting in the footage. It | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
looked like traditional fox-hunting. But his independence was questioned | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
by the defence. Professor Harris acknowledged he had been in favour | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
of the hunting ban and also confirmed he had never given | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
evidence on behalf of a hunt as an expert witness. The report he had | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
prepared for the case will also be questioned. The defence barrister, | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
David Parry, said, everything you say undermines the hunt, doesn't | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
it? Where is the balance? Professor Harris said it was balanced and the | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
evidence is fairly strong. The court has already visited sites in | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
West Sussex where it is alleged illegal fox-hunting to place. The | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
trial centres on four incidents over three days in January and | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
February last year. Four members of the Crawley and Horsham Hunt are | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
accused of breaking the hunting ban. They are Jamie hawksbill, Rachel | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Holdsworth, Andrew Phillips and Neil Millard. The defence has | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
started an application to have the Emergency services in Southampton | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
have rescued an injured person from the cab of a crane. The incident | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
happened this morning at the city's docks. An aerial ladder and a | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
specialist rope team were used to lower the patient to the ground | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
after around two and a half hours. Once safely on the dockside the | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
casualty was taken to hospital by Now, have you noticed the price of | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
petrol coming down? No? Apparently not many people have. But according | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
to the AA, which is based in Basingstoke, the price should be | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
dropping by six pence a litre. Our Transport Correspondent Paul | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:25. | ||
The price we pay at the pumps has gone up by 10 pence per litre so | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
far this year. But the AIA says it should be coming down again. That | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
is by 6p. That is because there has been a big drop in the wholesale | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
price of fuel. At Bridge Garage on Salisbury Plain, like almost | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
everywhere else, the price has stayed high. You are talking about | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
an outlay of anything up to �40,000 if you want to fill your tank. The | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
averages nearly up to �35,000 anyway. The cost of fuel is so high | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
and you have to wait until you have sold it before you can refill at | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
the cheaper price and pass it on to the customer. It just keeps going | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
up and up. They are going up significantly and its putting up a | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
few pounds on the fill up. What does surprise me is no one seems to | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
care. There are still great traffic jams up and down the motorway. | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Whatever it is, people just pay it. Every time the price of petrol goes | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
up by one penny per litre it adds �13 to the average fuel bill of an | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
average driver in an average car. Since petrol has gone up by 10 | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
pence per litre this year, that is an extra �130 on the family budget. | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
We should be looking at a reduction of something like 6p, that is how | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
much a wholesale price has fallen since the beginning of the month. | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
We have not seen that yet, only about a penny. If the price does | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
come down by a few pence, the relief could be short-lived. The | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
government is committed to increasing the fuel duty again this | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
Olympic security preparations off the Dorset coast will increase with | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
the arrival of HMS Bulwark at Weymouth and Portland on Monday. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
She'll take part in a security exercise next week ahead of the | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
Olympic sailing and windsurfing events which take place there | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
during July and August. HMS Bulwark will be used as the police command | :12:23. | :12:32. | |
centre during the Games. Still to come in this evening's | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
South Today, the weekend weather I will have the weekend weather | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
forecast shortly. It will be mainly wet and windy. This month we have | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
had double the amount of rainfall we normally have and it certainly | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
It all started two years ago with a letter about the plight of a young | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
soldier. As a child, Jack Otter used to holiday at Swanage in | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
Dorset. After he was injured in Afghanistan, his family asked the | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
Swanage Regatta Carnival if there was a caravan that could meet his | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
needs as a severely disabled man. That sparked a fundraising campaign, | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
and a quarter of a million pounds later, today saw the official | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
opening of a special holiday home for injured soldiers, veterans and | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :13:35. | ||
Proof that dreams really can come true. Jack Potter was injured in | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
Afghanistan three years ago. In hospital his mother had promised | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
him they would holiday again in Swan age, as they had done as a | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
child. To date she was able to make the which come through. First thing | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
I did was cry when there were no excess will caravans, so I sent | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
this e-mail, the now famous e-mail, asking for an explanation and | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
whether they would consider funding and accessible caravan somewhere in | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
Swan age for injured soldiers. e-mail to the carnival prompted a | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
big fund-raising campaign and their heroes project was born. They have | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
raised to a quarter of a million pounds. This is how it has been | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
spent, a specially adapted holiday home which are, days it wheelchair | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
users and their families. -- which accommodate so wheelchair users and | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
their families. It is easy, it has a wet room, so you don't have to | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
struggle to do the day-to-day things. It is lovely outside, not | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
too far away from the beach, and it is just fantastic. Injured | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
servicemen and their families will pay �200 to use the facility which | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
can house up to six people at a time. Most of today's visitors | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
seemed impressed. I think it will make a massive difference to the | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
families of injured soldiers, not just the guys themselves, but the | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
families as well. It gives them a respite away from each other or | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
together, away from the public, so they can come to terms with their | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
injuries. A break is as good as a rest, and for many people this | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
haven could provide the perfect I am sure it will be well used by | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
those deserving soldiers and their families. On to the sport, and we | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
are looking ahead to a really interesting weekend, particularly | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
for Southampton fans. A big weekend. Saints go into Saturday's match | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
knowing that a win over Coventry will seal their promotion to the | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
top flight. St Mary's is a sell-out and confidence is high. The last | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
time Southampton were in this position was 34 years ago. The man | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
in charge then was Lawrie McMenemy. We knew we were up, it was a nice, | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
relaxed atmosphere. Throughout the 1978 season it was the goals of Ted | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
McDougall and Phil Boyer which propelled Southampton into another | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
league. Today, the weight of expectation lies at the feet of | :15:57. | :16:07. | |
:16:07. | :16:08. | ||
There is more at stake here tomorrow. If they play the way they | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
have been playing, they have been playing Premiership style Football | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
anyway, and the crowd will blow the ball in for the first goal anyway. | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
And Ricky Lambert will have to do the rest. Back then - a draw with | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
Spurs was all they needed. Now a win at Coventry would nail their | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
place in the Premier League. We do not want any incentives at all. We | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
want to be the best we can be an we want to play in the big league. | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
you need any incentive, maybe they have to look at themselves. It is | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
about being the best you can be. Victory tomorrow would see scenes | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
like these from last year. Two promotions on the bounce and a �90 | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
million windfall. And the odds are stacked in their favour. Coventry | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
are already relegated. Saints haven't been out of the top two | :16:52. | :17:02. | |
since September. Credit to Southampton. It's not a lucky | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
position they are in, it is a deserved one. So, many people will | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
have high hopes of painting the town red following Saturday's match | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
if everything goes to plan. But at one pub they've already got the | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
paint out. Red and white paint, to be precise. | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
The Lord Nelson in Hythe is literally nailing its colours to | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
:17:29. | :17:29. | ||
the mast. Well, to the outer walls at least, as it backs Saints in | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
their final push to the Premier League. Why not? Let's put some | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
feel-good into recession time and enjoy ourselves. Let's make | :17:39. | :17:48. | |
everyone feel good. Wow! Colourful. I hadn't noticed it before! | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
can't argue with that. It is very good. Is it for the Saints? | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
Brilliant isn't it? How you can not notice it, I don't know. That | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
crucial match for Southampton is live on BBC1 tomorrow from 12:15pm | :18:03. | :18:12. | |
and there's also full coverage on BBC Radio Solent. At the other end | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
of the table, already relegated Portsmouth face Nottingham Forest | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
in their last game of the season. And emotions will run high for | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
entirely different reasons. As finances grow ever tighter, it'll | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
be a last match for many of the players, who face being moved on | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
simply to keep the club afloat. Michael Appleton admits it'll be | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
tough. It's going to be a difficult game | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
on Saturday. It is probably the only game I have gone into | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
concerned about what the outcome will be a, because for the first | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
time ever I'm not sure what I'm going to get out of the game and | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
what will get from the players. Because, obviously, it's been a | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
difficult week. Meanwhile, Reading is gearing up for one of the | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
biggest celebrations the town has ever seen. It follows the club's | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
promotion to the Premier League for only the second time in its history. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Thousands of people are expected to line the streets on Sunday for an | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
open top bus parade. It starts at 12:30pm at the west end of Friar | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Street, and ends at the Madejski Stadium, where the players will | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
lift the Championship Trophy. BBC Radio Berkshire will bring you all | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
the excitement on Sunday and, of course, we'll have a full report on | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
South Today. Former Hampshire cricket captain Shane Warne today | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
with a visit to his old county for a special spell of charity bowling. | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
He spent an hour in a coaching session with 11-year-old who has | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
overcome his disabilities to play club cricket. Shane Warne said | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
Hampshire's future is promising. They have a lot of good young | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
players. Dawson got five wickets today. They are under Craig White | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
as well. There are good people to learn off down here and may have | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
done very well. They didn't have the best deal last year, but they | :19:53. | :20:02. | |
will have a good one this year, that's for sure. Finally, goal-line | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
technology has been much talked about of late - particularly since | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
the controversial decision taken in the Chelsea and Tottenham match | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
earlier this month. And FIFA has announced today that live testing | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
is about to go ahead. The first test of HawkEye's goal-line | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
technology will take place at Southampton's St Mary's Stadium | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
next month. It will be tested at the Hampshire FA Senior Cup Final | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
between Eastleigh and AFC Totton on Is that the same system that we | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
know and love from Wimbledon? and has lots of connections in the | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
way it has been tested, and hopefully will stop the people | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
ranting at the referee. We are having a nostalgic story here for | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
you. It was a case of journey's end, at last, this afternoon for a steam | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
locomotive which finally arrived at her destination a small matter of | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
46 years after she should have. Back in 1966, the locomotive, named | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
the Clan Line, was stopped in her tracks by railway bosses because | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
she was too heavy. This afternoon in front of crowds of enthusiasts | :20:58. | :21:07. | |
she steamed towards the end of the The last time Clan Line tried to | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
steam into Swanage was five months before England won the World Cup. | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
She was banned from running down the single branch line for being | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
too heavy and withdrawn from service by British Railways a year | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
So when she finally reached the end of the line this afternoon it was | :21:22. | :21:32. | |
:21:32. | :21:33. | ||
the end of a journey 46-years in the making. It is a very well- | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
maintained machine. She has been kept immaculate, magnificently kept | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
by the support group. Once the mainstay of railway services | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
between the south coast and the capital, the Clan Line was built at | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Eastleigh in 1948, to haul long express trains carrying many a | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
holidaymaker to the seaside. She finally made it to Swanage thanks | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
to the meticulous work by volunteers who've not only rebuilt | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
the line, but also strengthened the track. When the railway closed and | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
some of the bridges were removed we have the opportunity to put larger, | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
stronger bridges and at that point which do allow a larger and heavier | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
locomotive to visits one age. It is hoped there will be more visitors | :22:17. | :22:27. | |

The UK's first beach wedding took place in Bournemouth today. Last | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
year, the Dorset resort became the first place to get permission to | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
hold civil ceremonies and hopes to rival luxury destinations like the | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
Carribbean. Kate Smith and Frazer Seed from Preston won a TV | :22:39. | :22:49. | |

competition to become the first We need the sun, don't we? It did | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
look good though. Fairly good weather down there on the beach | :22:54. | :23:03. | |
today. Was it? Good. I have to tell you that the view lead boat jumble | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
has been cancelled because of the forecast of wet and windy weather. | :23:07. | :23:14. | |

we will see a band of rain, mainly showers initially, right from the | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
south-east and it could be heavy in places. Temperatures up to 12 or 13 | :24:16. | :24:19. | |

see the squeeze on the isobars, strong winds, and rain edging | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
slowly to the north. So we could have maybe 40 mm of rain in places. | :24:48. | :24:56. | |

Here's Alastair Fee. Here in Camp Bastion I have been filled in with | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
the Chinook helicopters. Crews from Southampton have been out here | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
since the start of combat operations in 2001. The Chinook can | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
carry more than 50 troops at a time. To give you an idea of the size of | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
it, he can fit to Land Rovers in. I have been talking to the crew that | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
flies them, but also the medics that pick up the wounded. A special | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
report from Camp Bastion will be broadcast next week. Be with us | :26:10. | :26:15. |
