Living quarters. This room was probably the one in best shape. In the other bedrooms some mattresses were left, and because of water leakage over the years they have grown into massive mould mounds... not anything I cared to take any photos of.
During the Cold War, between 1952-52, an anti-boat boom was added to the original wooden one constructed in 1939/40. It used to stretch 2 miles into the Thames Estuary but a large section has now been removed. What's left is a protected historic monument

The Tornado GR1 (Stealth) Variant has only recently been seen in public as a direct result of its successful participation in Operation Desert Storm. Unlike the USAS F-117 the GR1 (Stealth) has used the existing airframes and has taken advantage of the most up-to-date anti-radar technology.
These include
a.Radar Absorbent Paint. This has been developed at a considerable cost and cannot be bought at Texas Superstores
b.Radar Absorbent Flying Suits/Helmets. Little has been released by the Ministry of Defense regarding these items
c.Radar Absorbent Aircrew This select band of specially mutated cretins was hand-picked from a cast of 4 who were not around when volunteers were asked for. This brave band of aviators are the only Tornado GR1 aircrew who have had their heads implanted with the microscopic IFF sensor which further limits emissions
Further research is continuing into this aspect of Tornado operations and the Ministry of Defence has promised to keep the British public informed of any further developments

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the last week of September 2012, tracking the on-going river bank alterations and excavation of the river bed.
In preparation for the river-bank strengthening/protection along this stretch of the river, a 2nd channel was created -- with the intention of diverting the river.
Having endured a similar flooding only days earlier, another heavy fall of rain caused the channels to fill up again.
It meant starting all over again - draining this road/bank side channel, cutting a release channel near the bridge to release the volume, and activating pumps to assist with the repeated drainage.
Matters were never helped by the overflow pipe which siphoned run-off from the adjacent motorway!
Always quite amazing to see how water levels could drain away within a few days.
The question would always be -- how much work could be completed before the (inevitable) next run of water?
As we can see, one or two day's intense rain could produce rapid flooding of channels, swamping on-going works, and causing temporary vehicle access paths to have to be repaired.
