Another Castle (Part One)

Ok, here we go with another film from my holiday. We're at another castle , a few miles down the coast from the previous one. This fort is much smaller, but the are around it was, at one time, a seaplane base and, during the Second World War, a flying boat base. Nowadays, the old hangars used to service the flying boats are part of an outdoor activity centre. As with the previous castle visit, this one is in two parts, with this first episode covering the central keep.



Between the wars, the site was also the base for the Schieder Trophy seaplane races, hence the model of the Supermarine Trophy-winning seaplane on the second floor of the keep. Hopefully, I'll get around to editing part two, covering the rest of the castle, soon.
