A training exercise simulating the emergency response to an oil spill will take place off the coast of the Isle of Wight today (Tuesday) and again tomorrow. Oil Spill Response Limited will be flying a specially adapted Boeing 727 low over the Solent and in the English Channel as part of their latest training scenerio. The aircraft is fitted out with internal tanks, pumps and spray booms and will be depositing a fluorescein dye into the water to act as a simulated oil spill. A smaller surveillance aircraft will also be seen flying in the skies above and around the Island. A number of vessels will be seen in the area as they perform the relevant training activities, with the 727 returning to spray water over the target area, simulating the application of a specialist oil spill dispersant. Numerous autonomous underwater vehicles will also be operating in our local waters as part of a collaboration that underscores a commitment to leveraging technology for improved operations. Paul Foley, Europe Regional Manager for Oil Spill Response, says:
“As the world’s largest dedicated oil spill response organisation, we constantly need to train our teams and validate current good-practice methodologies. Exercises like these are complex and challenging, but they are also essential to ensuring we’re best able to minimise impacts on the marine environment and communities should an incident occur. “Residents can be assured that no oil or dispersants are being used, and there will be no impact on the coastline or local marine life from any of our activities this week”.
Perhaps they could fly daily over the North sea and spray a permanent dye over those illegals arriving which only adds to the eventual shortage of houses, doctors, dentists, with the huge burden of the social security then having to fund every single thing that these people with nothing will eventually have.
Add the extra pollution, sewage, water consumption, energy use, costly education for non English speaking children and adults, a home once ‘accepted’ costing not only hundreds of thousands but taking up ‘another’ green space in Britain, and imo, they are more trouble and cost than any oil spill will ever be. Best vote Reform, or watch your child’s future slid out because of your naive ‘care’ for others.
I doubt they’ll find many “illegals” in the North Sea. Those pesky Dutch and Danes are perfectly happy in their European Union homes – why would they wnat to come to this chaotic hell-hole?
You know what I meant, your just a woke moron. Come back to the reel world.
Red Eared Mick, I am living in the real, not reel world thank you.
I too have no desire for freeloading, crime, disease ridden, uninvited arrivals who breed every place which they choose to inflict themselves on to overcrowding and misery.
My voting is my and my only decision, however Reform are looking to be the wisest choice by miles.
Reform is a limited company owned mainly by Farage, it is not a party with members and has supporters otherwise known as mugs. No one but him has any real control over its policies. If he so decides, he can run away with all the money.
Like all the others then, corrupt to the hilt the lot of them.
Or even sack Tice, the so called leader, when Farage sees he’s not up to the job. Not much sign of a democratic leadership vote!
Xenophobia, racism and a poor understanding of local geography.
North Sea? Idiot!
North Sea LOL. At least the migrants know there geography to be able to get from Syria to here.
You forgot to mention the shortage of geography teachers.
North Sea – what a numb nut!!!!
A good one for plane spotters, the Boeing 727 entered service in 1964 and the last one was built in 1984.
