Orphan date February 2009 unreferenced date March 2007 cinematreasures.org is not WP REF The Chiltern Cinema is a former cinema in Beaconsfield , Buckinghamshire , England was designed by renowned cinema architect W.F. Granger, and opened in late 1927. Originally the cinema was called the picture house . The seating was around 500, and the auditorium had no balcony. The screen was always 4 3 format not widescreen , so letterbox vision was complusary on some films. The exterior was of a neo classical architecture, so consequently, did not look like the average cinema from the front. Now, as the building stands, the ornate decorations are in good condition. Above the old main entrance, some dirt interference smothers the brickwork. This is where THE CHILTERN logo was once on view. The cinema began to decline in the mid 1980s, and surrendered to the CIC Wycombe Six, and closed almost immediately. The building now houses an Adventure Funhouse called Zoom . The decoration inside is almost completely intact. The screen is still there, as a large rectangle on the back wall. The floor is still on a slope, and the projection room is being used as the Party Place for children s birthday parties. The Stage, which was erected in 1963 for theatre performances now has a caf standing on it. The entrance is now through the old fire exit at the rear.

History Before 1980, Thames Valley Police occasionally used helicopter s at special events. In 1963, Oxford City Police experimented using a Brantley helicopter with a dog basket attached to the skids. In 1980, an aircraft was used on twenty separate days at various events, with further use taking place during 1981. It was not until June 1982 that the first formally contracted flights took place. During the next four years the helicopter was used more frequently. A single engine Aerospatiale A350 Squirrel helicopter designated G JORR was hired for day time operations for each weekday of 1985. This aircraft was based at Oxford Airport and used exclusively by the Thames Valley Police. Seven sergeants were drawn from the Traffic and Operations Departments as part time observers. During April 1986, the Thames Valley Police Air Support Unit, as it had become known, was relocated to RAF Abingdon. Providing daylight cover only, the Unit was allocated a budget of 650 flying hours, but was still crewed by sergeant observers on an ad hoc basis. It was recognised that the specialist skills required could no longer be met by part time observers, and in 1988 the decision was taken to recruit and train dedicated observers. Chiltern Air Support s Luton helicopter EC135T2 CPDS has now moved from London Luton Airport, and is based at RAF Henlow , near Hitchin and Shillington, Bedfordshire Shillington .
