The final preparations are underway for the fourth Emergency Services Show at Hullavington airfield tomorrow.

The family fun day, which runs from 10am to 5pm, showcases all of the blue light services from right across the South West region, and visitors will be able to view everything from fire engines to helicopters and boats to specialist police vehicles.

A busy programme of demonstrations will run in the arena, including police dogs, a road traffic collision extrication, a car fire, the Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service fire cadets and the Solent Eagles children's motorcycle display team.

In addition, there will be a range of demonstrations and exhibitions across the Showground including recruitment, the police armed response unit, water rescue, search and rescue, CPR demonstrations, air support units, mobile speed cameras and fire engine rides.

All profits from the show benefit local charities with a connection to the emergency services.

Admission is £5 for adults, £2.50 for children under 16 and under 3s go free.
