Happy Birthday garynortheast
 

Hope you have a brilliant birthday Gary filled with lots of the things you love :D













Did you know on this day in 1667 the Dutch fleet, under Admiral de Ruyter burned Sheerness, sailed up the River Medway, raided Chatham dockyard, and then escaped with the royal barge, the Royal Charles.

Thanks for the birthday wishes fellers. After a fairly stressful few days I'm intending to relax a bit today.



How appropriate is that Geo? I grew up on the Hoo Marina caravan site almost opposite the dockyard. The British method of defence against this particular sortie by the Dutch involved hanging a large chain across the Medway from, I believe, St Mary's Island to Upnor. As can be seen from the result it failed spectacularly! :smt046
