Walking back along the south side of the Trent after lunchtime Lemonade at the Ferry Inn, Wilford.
The Ferry Inn at Wilford, has, for years been consistently, the "Worst Pub in The World in the Nicest Spot". The management should be dragged to Market Square through the Meadows and then force fed their "food" (which never turn up because their wouldn't be enough staff) whilst sitting under their heated umbrellas. Wish their was another pub nearby.

RAF Defence Radar Museum information board - flic.kr/p/2iYgZCx
The S600 Radar was developed by Marconi in the late 1960's as a modular system which could be airlifted by helicopter, by transport aircraft such as the C130 Hercules or towed by Land Rover. Both Surveillance and Height-finding antennas were developed at the same time. The picture below right shows the Surveillance radar with a Height-finding radar on the right behind the staff.
The prototype Radar at the RAF Radar Defence Museum is the S band variant and was built around 1967. It spent its early years at the Marconi Test and Development Site undertaking various trials for both the MoD and the company. While closely meeting Air Staff requirement (ASR 1514) for rapid deployment radar, the RAF decided that, with the increasing threat of jamming, a new and even more advanced was required and so the RAF decided not to purchase the S600 system.
However the S600 system proved to be very popular with international sales to over 20 countries and is still in use today. During the Kosovo air war in 1999, the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defence Missile Brigade of the Army of Yugoslavia, managed to track and shoot down a USAAF F117 ''Stealth'' Fighter on 27th March 1999 while it was flying over Serbia as part of NATO operations in the area. Unconfirmed reports from some of those involved in Serbia indicate that the aircraft was tracked by the S600 until it was shot down by ground-to-air missiles. The exact details of the event are still a Serbian secret !
The Falkland Islands conflict in 1982 meant additional mobile Radars were desperately needed by the RAF once the Islands had been recaptured by British forces. The RAF purchased an L band S600 in addition to this S band variant and moved both Radars to the Islands. The L band version was deployed at Mount Kent to provide air surveillance over East Falkland after the conflict, the museums Radar being held at Port Stanley in reserve. In 1985 the museums Radar was returned to the UK were it was being utilised for RAF training, radar evaluation and exercises. It's L band sister radar (Type 97) continued active service at Mount Kent until August 1997, being superceded by a more modern Plessey 3D radar.
The museums Radar was to see ''action'' yet again during the Balkans crisis in 1998/99. It was deployed to help with the development of anti-radar tactics to neutralise this type of Radar. How ironic this was given the success of the S600 in that operational theatre against the USAAF F117 ''Stealth'' Fighter ! The RAF eventually retired the Radar and it was returned for long term storage in Essex until BAE Systems moved the Radar to its final home here at the RAF Defence Radar Museum. The successors to the S600, the Martello Type 90 and 91 Radars were bought by the RAF in 1982, paving the way for a whole new generation of mobile phased array Radars which now form the backbones of UK Air Defence System.

I think this on the Southtown Road side of the River Yare in Great Yarmouth is to do with the tidal flood defence work being carried out.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the fourth+ week of September 2014. The guys were now working to reinforce the riverside of the sheetpiling, buttressing with large boulders, and an overlay of smaller gravel. Most of the sheet piles were driven into place. Work now involved re-inforcing the base of the sheet wall. On this side of the river, that work required the placement of steel-rod reinforced concrete pouring. They also finally got around to 'topping' the steel piles -- using hand-held oxy-acetylene torch. I was kinda hoping they'd have a plasma cutter. However the work was done quickly, neatly and with little inconvenience to local residents
See here www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWiuVuOU6uI for more detail of the flood defence.
Leakage through the flood gate is minimal, a real success.
