Fort Clonque Highlights 1 December 2002

Discussing gadgets in the departure lounge at Southampton Airport
Plane and baggage carrier. The plane is a 17-seat Britten-Norman Trislander, built at Bembridge in the Isle of Wight and operated by Aurigny Airways.
A fort! Not Clonque yet - this is Hurst Castle at the western end of the Solent.
Disembarking in Alderney: Beryl and Peter.
Live contents! Kate carrying Torr across the tarmac.
First sight of Fort Clonque, from the top of the Zig-Zag.
Peter, Kate, Torr, and Richard on the Zig-Zag. There are not many holiday destinations where you can walk from airport to accommodation in 20 minutes!
Getting the provisions ordered in advance was essential. Geoff Salt the property manager had collected everything and arranged it beautifully ready for our arrival.
Kitchen Party in the Soldiers' Quarters: Beryl, Richard, Kate adn Brenda.
Sausage Gunge for eight: Andrew at work with the cookpot. All the kitchen equipment was of excellent quality and generally on the commercial-kitchen scale.
Torr had been fed earlier, but insisted on joining the party. His parents do not seem impressed...
A bugle is provided of course - here is Alan practising the Last Post.
