Day 30 - Cliffs End


Today we went to look at The Spitfire & Hurricane Memorial Museum next to the Kent International Airport. The memorial is free to enter and shows the region of Kent’s involvement with the Royal Air Force during WW2. The county of Kent actually had more bombs dropped on it than London by the German planes.

There are a lot of personnel items donated by local Kent people to the museum and there are many interesting stories of people’s involvement and memories of WW2. We spent quite a while at the museum looking at all the interesting exhibits and a bought a few mementoes of the exibits.

Following that we went back to the house and had some lunch and then spent time talking about Mel & Jim’s trip to Australia in January. We looked at the Internet and I showed them some sites that might help them with their planning closer to the trip time.

I then rearranged my luggage for the trip back to London tomorrow before we went out for dinner. After dinner we did some more talking about Australia and then watched some television before I went off to bed.
