Some military photos taken during our recent trip back to the UK
Passed this gun battery on the M4, 4 guns with Mercedes tows plus some support vehicles

Fort Amherst (Chatham, Kent)
As we drove past i noticed they had added new gate guardians and also pulled out and painted several WW2 era guns and put them on display.
3" AA gun
Napoleonic era ships cannon

Obviously an interesting part of the world around Chatham. My uncle was briefly based in Chatham Royal Marine / Navy married quarters many years ago. But he was mostly abroad on active service in his RM career. I must make effort to visit the triple sites you noted. Covid has put a stop to my roving these last two years. CarlL
ReplyDeleteThe Naval dockyard closed about the time Debbie left school, devastated the job market. All her family live in the Medway towns, so we went there a lot during our courting and early married life - not so much when we ran the hotel full time. Debbie had tax paperwork to do which gave a me a few hours off to wander about :)
