  themed weekend all about everyday life during the last war.
  
  the first shot shows children undergoing rigorous new recruit training.
  
  

  

  
  plenty of reenactor folk there to give it atmosphere.

  yes brian there were two helicopters accompanying the spitfire today so we can safely assume that visitors to the castle tomorrow will be treated to a flypast.
  
  i assume that the flight was connected to the small ships event going on at ramsgate.
