GFS open day promotes National Security Education Day (with photos)
********************************************************************
     To promote the National Security Education Day, the Government Flying Service (GFS) held an open day today (March 29) at the GFS Kai Tak Division, taking the opportunity to raise public awareness of national security and deepen their understanding of the GFS's services, as well as its work and achievements in safeguarding national security.

     Interactive exhibition boards, national security-themed game booths, virtual-reality and augmented-reality games, as well as a discovery zone hosted by the Government Flying Service Aviation Inspiration International Academy, were set up on the open day to give members of the public a better understanding of the GFS operation. The Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps performed a Chinese-style foot drill and gave a pipe band performance during the open day. As a concluding performance, a helicopter search-and-rescue flight demonstration, simulating a maritime rescue operation, illustrated emergency response efforts by the GFS during life-saving missions. 

     More than 1 600 visitors joined the GFS Open Day. The Deputy Financial Secretary, Mr Michael Wong; the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung; and the Under Secretary for Security, Mr Michael Cheuk, also toured the open day and recognised the efforts and contributions by the GFS in safeguarding national security.
