Man airlifted to hospital after fire on sea fort  A man was
airlifted to hospital after a fire broke out on a second world
war sea fort yesterday.  The fire broke out at Sealand, an
offshore former gun emplacement near the south Suffolk coast, at
about 12.15pm after it is believed a generator caught fire.
Thames Coastguard, Harwich RNLI lifeboat and firefighting tug
boat Brightwell were sent to the scene to battle the blaze and
deal with casualties at the inhabited fort.  An RAF rescue
helicopter from Wattisham was also called in to airlift the
injured man to safety. He was taken to Ipswich hospital in
Suffolk for treatment.
