FELIXSTOWE SEA FRONT - MARITIME EXCLUSION ZONE

Mariners are advised that an air display with low flying aircraft will take place on
Sunday 4th August 2013. Due to the type of aircraft taking part within this display
an exclusion zone of 500m will be placed around the Centre of Display Point
Marker, commencing from the shoreline as shown in the plan overleaf. This
allows for an emergency crash zone from each possible flight path into the
display area.

Point Marker for Centre of Display will be a Black buoy positioned at:
Latitude: 51°57’46”N, Longitude: 001°21’04”E

The exclusion zone will be marked with yellow and orange marker buoys and will be
enforced from 14:30 – 16:30 on Sunday 4th August 2013.

The area will be patrolled by 4No. 6m rigid inflatable boats from the local sailing
club liaising directly with the event organisers and HM Coastguard.
Patrol boats to operate on VHF M1/37a

Call sign to lead patrol boat will be Marine Marshall 1.

One of our marina dwellers actually flys the Catalina.
he phoned the pilot this morning asking him to fly back up the river & over Fox`s, we had a wing waggle as he flew over & we all waved
