Action on the River

Hi folks,

Bit of a shame because the main reason for attending was the Sea King Helicopter and RNLI rescue display but it was unfortunately cancelled at the last minute due to a shout.

Stepping into its shoes, the Kent Police display.


and their Jet Skis.



Vic 56 going back up the river with Rochester Cathedral and Castle in the background.


Then what I thought was the highlight of the day around the river entered this...............

The Svitzer Mallaig, a giant tug with fire fighting jets which is based at Gravesend.


that sent water high into the air.


The jets are computer controlled and held their position even as the tug did a 360 degree turn.



Powering down the jets after giving everyone a good soaking.



Well, what can I say, truly amazing.

Thanks for looking.

Best Regards, Mike
