Photo of the week August 21st, 2013

Safety is important to the survival of us all. This week, during a safety training programme at Kpong Airfield, a demonstration was given of what happens when a person is hit at 60kph. A watermelon acted the part of a person wandering onto a runway, whilst the Medicine on the Move truck simulated an aircraft with wooden 'wings' strapped across it. The sight of the melon disintegrating on impact changed the spectators approach to road and airfield safety. We hope that this image will remind us all how dangerous roads and airfields can be if you do not follow the rules and respect the dangers. Photo courtesy of Medicine on the Move and WAASPS.
