This Scammell was on display in a line up of recovery vehicles from R T Williams at the Bus and Coach Wales Show held at Merthyr. 8/9/13.
The earthquake and tsunami which struck the region on 26th December 2004 greatly impacted the local built environment, especially the crucial tourism industry. Recovery and reconstruction began soon after the disaster. For example, some tourist and consumer services were able to resume within a month of the disaster.

Alberta’s government is providing up to $5 million to build a recovery community in Red Deer, which will add 75 treatment beds in central Alberta.
As part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, $25 million will support the construction of life-changing recovery communities, which will play a critical role in supporting the health, wellness and long-term recovery of Albertans.
“Today’s announcement is a big step towards supporting Albertans in their goal of recovery. We dedicated a portion of our Recovery Plan to ensure infrastructure was being dedicated to the vulnerable people in our communities. These recovery communities are a continuation of our efforts at creating 4,000 addiction treatment spaces in the province and building a full continuum of care for people struggling with addiction.” said Premier Jason Kenney in Red Deer on July 18, 2020.
Recovery communities, also known as therapeutic communities, are a form of long-term residential treatment for addiction, used in more than 65 countries around the world. Recovery is seen as a gradual, ongoing process of cognitive change through clinical and peer interventions. Program participants advance through the stages of treatment at their own pace, setting personal objectives and assuming greater responsibilities in the community along the way.
“I am excited to announce the first of five recovery communities will be in Red Deer. This is an important step in the expansion of our mental health and addiction recovery strategy. I want to thank the City of Red Deer for their tremendous partnership on this important project. Their commitment to the community and the people struggling with addiction has been second to none.” said Jason Luan, Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.
Recovery Communities encourage participants to examine their personal behaviour to help them become more pro-social and positively engaged citizens – considered to be based on honesty, taking responsibility, hard work, and willingness to learn. The goal is for a participant to leave the program not only drug-free but also employed or in school or training.
Five recovery communities are being built across the Alberta. It is anticipated recovery communities will begin accepting participants in spring 2021.
“The City of Red Deer is proud to have worked closely with the Government of Alberta on this important initiative. Our friends, family, and neighbours suffering from addiction will have a place to go that’s close to home. We will continue to working with this government hand-in-hand as we build out further supports for the people of Red Deer.” said Tara Veer, mayor, City of Red Deer.
“I am pleased to hear that a recovery community is coming to Red Deer. This facility is poised to have a dramatic impact on those struggling with addiction in Red Deer and in central Alberta. I look forward to seeing the positive effects it has on its patients and the community as a whole.” said Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Education and MLA for Red Deer North.
“Addiction is a challenge of human nature. Success in this complex matter must begin with the end in mind: supporting and loving our neighbors to become free from addictions. The announced therapeutic community for Red Deer is an innovative, game changing, service towards loving and supporting our neighbors seeking to become free from addictions, blessing families and communities throughout Central Alberta.” said Jason Stephan, MLA for Red Deer South.
This historic infrastructure investment complements government’s ongoing commitment to create 4,000 addiction and mental health treatment spaces in the province.
Alberta’s Recovery Plan is a bold, ambitious long-term strategy to build, diversify, and create tens of thousands of jobs now. By building schools, roads and other core infrastructure we are benefitting our communities. By diversifying our economy and attracting investment with Canada’s most competitive tax environment, we are putting Alberta on a path for a generation of growth. Alberta came together to save lives by flattening the curve and now we must do the same to save livelihoods, grow and thrive.

The Lockheed Martin HC-130J Hercules The Combat King II is the U.S. Air Force's only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform and is flown by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). This C-130J variation specializes in tactical profiles and avoiding detection and recovery operations in austere environments. The HC-130J replaces HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. It is an extended-range version of the C-130J Hercules transport. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, airland, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions. When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, and noncombatant evacuation operations.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130J have improved navigation, threat detection and countermeasures systems. The aircraft fleet has a fully-integrated inertial navigation and global positioning systems, and night vision goggle, or NVG, compatible interior and exterior lighting. It also has forward-looking infrared, radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers, satellite and data-burst communications, and the ability to receive fuel inflight via a Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI).
The HC-130J can fly in the day; however, crews normally fly night at low to medium altitude levels in contested or sensitive environments, both over land or overwater. Crews use NVGs for tactical flight profiles to avoid detection to accomplish covert infiltration/exfiltration and transload operations. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications, and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Drop zone objectives are done via personnel drops and equipment drops. Rescue bundles include illumination flares, marker smokes and rescue kits. Helicopter air-to-air refueling can be conducted at night, with blacked out communication with up to two simultaneous helicopters. Additionally, forward area refueling point operations can be executed to support a variety of joint and coalition partners.
Background
The HC-130J is a result of the HC/MC-130 recapitalization program and replaces Air Combat Command's aging HC-130P/N fleet as the dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. The 71st and 79th Rescue Squadrons in Air Combat Command, the 550th Special Operations Squadron in Air Education and Training Command, the 920th Rescue Group in Air Force Reserve Command and the 106th Rescue Wing, 129th RQW and 176th Wing in the Air National Guard will operate the aircraft.
First flight was 29 July 2010, and the aircraft will serve the many roles and missions of the HC-130P/Ns. It is a modified KC-130J aircraft designed to conduct personnel recovery missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range or air refueling.
In April 2006, the personnel recovery mission was transferred back to Air Combat Command at Langley AFB, Va. From 2003 to 2006, the mission was under the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Previously, HC-130s were assigned to ACC from 1992 to 2003. They were first assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command.

Skyhook Recovery System
I was a 2/LT right out of Air Intelligence School and assigned to the 3 TFW at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Viet Nam in 1968. Word came down that the Air Rescue Service was going to demonstrate the Fulton "Skyhook" Recovery System for all assigned flying personnel and that they would like to have a volunteer to be the "dummy" to be picked-up. This seemed like a great opportunity for me. As luck would have it, a TSgt on base also volunteered and lost the flip of the coin to see who would get picked-up. Two days before the demonstration was to take place, the TSgt was in the base hospital with a severe case of the flu, and my boss called and said "you're now the dummy". That's the first and only time that my boss called me a "dummy" and I was overjoyed!
The afternoon of the day before the demonstration, the Air Rescue C-130 arrived and I was asked to attend the briefing for the guy who was going to be "picked-up". I was informed that I would be just like a downed crewmember and would have to read the directions that would be dropped with the recovery kit. The next morning I was taken to the other side of the base where the whole wing was assembled to watch the show. The C-130 dropped the recovery kit with the Air Rescue coordinator briefing all-present as to what was taking place. When the kit hit the ground I was told to get over there and get with the program. After releasing the parachute from the kit. I got out the instructions and proceeded from there. The recovery "suit" I put on was designed for all geographical locations, including the North and South Poles. It became a contest to see if I could deploy the system and get recovered before I died of heat exhaustion. The real work is the deployment and filling-up of the balloon and the securing of the balloon to the recovery suit without it "getting away." It might be helpful at this point to mention that the deployment of a very large balloon 1500 feet into the air that does not look anything like any bird found on earth tends to alert the enemy that are looking for you of a possible location (like, here I am!!).
The actual "pick-up" is smooth and so quick that you don't have any time to analyze what is really going on. You next find yourself at 1500 feet in the air and going 150MPH and praying to God that the rope doesn't snap (this all happens in less than 3 seconds!) I took just 6 minutes to winch me into the back end to the C-130, but it seemed like a lot longer than that.

1. The Fulton Recovery package is delivered to the downed crewmember.
2. The crewmember must read the directions, assemble and inflate the balloon.
3. The crewmember dons the recovery suit, attaches it to the balloon and awaits pickup.
4. The moment of pickup, next stop 1500 feet above the ground at a speed of 150mph being pulled behind the C-130. All this in less than 3 seconds!
Allotted time for Skyhook procedure is 12 minutes.
