Silly season (Summer) is nearly upon us; and so Whitstable starts to come to life.
One of the first events to take place on Tankerton Slopes was Whitstable Umbrella Funday Sunday.
As usual the weather forecast was not looking too promising, but the sun did come out along with thousands of people to support this great event.
A last minute confirmation from the Whitstable lifeboat skipper gave people the chance to see the RAF Sea King rescue helicopter perform a great display off our coast along with the crew from Whitstable’s lifeboat station.
Just before 2.50 there came the familiar drone of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight as it flew along the slopes on it’s way back from displaying at Palm Bay. Unfortunately the Spitfire pealed off as the Lancaster & Hurricane made their second approach so there was only one chance to get a picture of all three together.
This years event was the best so far, so the rest of the silly seasons events have a target to beat.
