Emotional moment firefighters down helmets as coffin of hero colleague killed in line of duty passes
FIREFIGHTERS yesterday lined the streets to honour a colleague killed tackling a deadly blaze in a hangar. They laid their yellow helmets on the ground as Martyn Sadler's ceremonial funeral procession passed by. 7 7 7 The 38-year-old's coffin, draped in the Union flag, was carried on a fire engine through Bicester, Oxon. Hundreds of people watched in respectful silence while uniformed firefighters marched behind. The cortège paused outside the town's fire station, where crews stood for a minute's silence. His coffin, flanked by standard bearers from all fire services across the country, was brought into St Edburg's church for a private service. Martyn was killed in a fire at the Bicester Motion site on May 15 alongside colleague Jennie Logan, 30, and businessman Dave Chester, 57. Ten fire crews were called to tackle the blaze in a hangar reportedly being used to store vintage buses and other vehicles. Two other firefighters sustained serious injurie s in the blaze but have been discharged from hospital. Thames Valley Police said post-mortem examinations suggested the three victims were killed by part of the structure collapsing. An inquest was adjourned until November 25. The force's major crime unit, the Health and Safety Executive and the fire service are investigating. 7 7 7 On Tuesday, owners of the Bicester Motion business complex, set up on a former World War Two RAF bomber training station, announced that the fire-damaged Grade II-listed Hangar 79, would be demolished. Work is expected to start next week. In a tribute following his death, Martyn's family said he was born to be a firefighter. They added: 'Coming from a fire service family, it was always in his blood, but it was significantly more than that with him, it was his life.' He worked for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service but was also part of the London Fire Brigade. A funeral procession for Jennie took place in June.

Shifting sands reveal more of ‘remarkably preserved' 1600s English warship
Shifting sands have uncovered the hull of a 17th-century English warship off the Kent coast. The Northumberland shipwreck is said to potentially be one of the best preserved wooden ships, and was found 20 metres (66ft) underwater and nine miles off the Kent coast in 1980. Now wooden decks, lengths of rope, copper cauldrons and wooden chests with some preserved cannonballs inside, which have survived 'particularly well', have been uncovered by a survey organised by Historic England with MSDS divers. The near 350-year-old protected wreck is at high risk of deterioration as shifting sands expose it to processes that may erode the well preserved wreckage, Historic England said. Dan Pascoe, its licensee who monitors the site, said: 'The Northumberland has the potential to be one of the best-preserved wooden warships in the UK. However, at 20 metres underwater and nine miles offshore, it is out of sight and mind to most people.' The Northumberland was a third-rate 70-gun warship built in Bristol in 1679 as part of Samuel Pepys's regeneration of the English navy. It sank during the 'Great Storm' of Nov 26 1703 off Kent along with three other warships, including The Mary, the location of which is still unknown. They were all part of the fleet of Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch, who reigned from 1702 to 1714. A film made by streaming service History Hit, detailing the new survey and the initial construction of the Northumberland, airs on Thursday. Creator Dan Snow said: 'Northumberland is the missing link. Built roughly halfway between the Mary Rose and HMS Victory, this wreck can fill in crucial details of shipbuilding and life at sea at that pivotal moment in our history. 'We have the Mary Rose, the Tudor time capsule – well, here's a Stuart time capsule to sit alongside it.' Future work on the site may include taking wood samples or dendrochronological sampling to find out more about the ship's construction and confirm its identity. Paul Jeffery, the marine leader at Historic England, said: 'The completeness of the Northumberland wreck site is remarkable. It is a race against time as more of the Northumberland wreck becomes exposed.'

Britain's rarest breeding bird successfully nests in UK for first time in six years
Britain 's rarest breeding bird has successfully nested in the UK for the first time in six years, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has announced. Two Montagu's Harriers have raised four healthy chicks, all of which have taken their first flights, the charity said. The medium-sized birds of prey's status is described as "precarious" and they need special protection — they are a Schedule 1 listed species on The Wildlife and Countryside Act, meaning that it is illegal for any person to intentionally or recklessly disturb them while it is building a nest or is in, on or near a nest containing eggs or young; or disturb dependent young of such a bird.
