Bob Dale BBC News, South East BBC/Hanna Neter The Red Arrows appeared on all four days of the airshow A "phenomenal" level of planning made sure there were no serious incidents at Eastbourne Airbourne, despite several people having to be rescued from the water. The annual international air show attracted about 750,000 people to the East Sussex town between Thursday and Sunday. The RNLI said it was called to help an adult and child who had got into difficulty on a paddleboard in Seaford Bay, and was called to "multiple casualties" in difficulty at the Wish Tower, both on Sunday. Jenny Williams, cabinet member for tourism at Eastbourne Borough Council, said the emergency services, including lifeguards, had been "there in an instant". Co-ordinated planning between the council and emergency services for Eastbourne Airbourne is "world class", said the authority She told BBC Radio Sussex the council took immediate action when the sea conditions deteriorated on Sunday. "We put the red flags up, because it got really choppy, almost when the Red Arrows were coming," she said. "I was thinking 'is it going to be too windy?' "There were a number of people that we had to support, but the planning from our events team is world class. We have RNLI in the water and we have all of our emergency services along the seafront, it's a massive operation. "The amount of work is phenomenal." BBC/Piers Hopkirk Jenny Williams said the air show had brought hundreds of thousands of extra visitors to Eastbourne She also said the event had been a great financial success for the town. "All the way from Beachy Head to the harbour was filled with people having a great time on the beach. "One in four of our jobs is about tourism. Our weekend bandstand concerts were sold out, our hotels are full, our restaurants, our shops are full." HM Coastguard said it received a number of separate reports of people in difficulty in the water off Eastbourne on Sunday. A spokesman said: "Responses included coastguard rescue teams being sent from Eastbourne and Birling Gap, as well as an RNLI lifeboat from Eastbourne. "All people made their own way to shore or were recovered safely and accounted for, with South East Coast Ambulance Service providing care where required."

RAF jets alerted to escort plane after 'sonic boom'

A sonic boom has been heard over London after two RAF jets intercepted a private plane above the city. The Typhoon jets from RAF Coningsby were scrambled near Peterborough at 11.40am today. A Bombardier Global Express flying from Nice, France, had lost contact with the ground triggering the emergency response. The jets intercepted and then escorted the plane to London Stansted Airport. But Londoners as well as people living in Kent and Essex reported hearing a 'sonic boom' like an 'explosion' as the jets took to the skies. More Trending The RAF said: 'We can confirm that RAF Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) Typhoon fighter aircraft from RAF Coningsby were launched today to investigate a civilian aircraft which was not in contact with air traffic control. 'Communications were re-established and the aircraft was safely escorted to Stansted. The Typhoons are returning to base.' One person from Dartford said: 'Heard and felt it, shook my whole building.' Another added: 'It livened up the Zoom call I was on when I said 'what the f*** was that loud bang?!''
