Explanations:

 

you've seen original models from the film Battle of Britain (Stuka and Heinkel - the Stuka is the sole survivor). Murals of RA badges in the old fort. The memorial is for a B17 lost in a mid-air collision over Canvey Island. The big gun is a recreation of the types in the fort in the late 1800s...it looks really good.

Lee sitting in a MiG 21 cockpit. Lee with a Lancaster bomber wheel. Cadet Corporal James and Harry M with the Bofors and with Lee and Neil in the Fort. A nice Morris. Original guns from HMS Hood - these were removed before the refit the ship had before her loss. Various views around the fort. I think that covers it. We had a fantastic day. Thanks to everyone involved. Great to meet the HMVF Mafia. See you all soon. MB & JB.
