Hi I am not sure I have ever been to Wateringbury but there's a good chance I flew over I am sure I flew over it a number of times decades ago at 2,300 feet whilst training for a PPL Night Rating out of Biggin Hill and down to Lydd and back! Apologies if I disturbed the peace.
However, I am here today as I am in Denmark and yesterday picked up a nice pair of quart tankards inscribed as owned by George Martin, the landlord of the Harrow, Wateringbury, around 140 years ago. They have stamps inside showing they were made by Gerardin & Watson (London pewterers 1805-1854) and verified with a VR362 (Kent) stamp. What these were doing in Denmark, I have no idea!
My Apologies but Peter left a comment asking how to get the photo to the website which I accidentally deleted. Peter if you could send me the photo I will post them to the website. My email address is John.gilham@mail.com my apologies again.
Thanks for the photos Peter I have published them as a new post on the website https://wateringbury.blogspot.com/ Thanks Again for the comment and the photographs. Kind Regards John
