Weather concerns pause Ramsgate return for Dunkirk Little Ships
Mick Gentry, of the ADLS, said: "It will be touch and go."The crossing on Wednesday was pretty much on the limit of where we like to be weather-wise."We are hoping for some divine intervention. It's paramount that we look after the old girls."A total of 66 boats from across Europe set off from Ramsgate on Wednesday, 21 May for Dunkirk as part of the commemorations of Operation Dynamo.More than 338,000 soldiers were rescued, with almost 100,000 troops picked up off from the beaches by the little ships and ferried to larger vessels.The commemorative voyage was the first which did not include any Dunkirk veterans, the ADLS said.Many of the ships last made the journey in 2015, to mark the 75th anniversary of Operation Dynamo.

Rail closure between Tonbridge and Redhill 'worth it in the long run'
Network Rail has said the imminent 10-day closure of a rail line that runs between Surrey and Kent will be "worth it in the long run".From Saturday until 25 August buses will replace Southern trains on the Redhill to Tonbridge line as 13 miles (20.9km) of high voltage power cables are renewed between Nutfield and Prentice from Network Rail said renewing the stretch of cable would help "provide a more stable power supply to all of the electrical systems along the track"."We'll also be replacing worn out rails near Edenbridge, as well as undertaking maintenance work to improve the resilience of railway structures," he added. The railway embankment near Edenbridge will be strengthened with a 360m- (1,181ft) long steel wall either side of the track following disruption caused by landslips in recent years."It's a really substantial piece of engineering," Mr Prentice work will see 11 bridges undergo structural inspections and 200m (656ft) of rail replaced at Godstone.

Sonic boom heard after RAF Typhoon fighter jets scrambled to intercept passenger plane
A sonic boom has been reported across parts of east and southeast England after the RAF deployed aircraft to intercept a passenger plane. Three Typhoon jets were launched from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire on Friday morning to investigate the aircraft, which was not in contact with air traffic control. Data from shows one Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 hitting speeds of just under 700 knots (805mph) at 11.40am. When it went supersonic, the flight tracking website recorded it travelling at an altitude of around 40,000ft. People across parts of Kent and Essex reported hearing a loud bang as the fighter jet travelled at supersonic speed. A Royal Air Force spokesperson said: "We can confirm that RAF Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon fighter aircraft from RAF Coningsby were launched today to investigate a civilian aircraft which was not in contact with air traffic control (ATC), communications were re-established and the aircraft was safely escorted to Stansted." It is not known what caused the passenger plane, which had been travelling from Nice in the south of France, to stop communicating with ATC. A sonic boom is caused when planes fly faster than the speed of sound, which at ground level is about 761mph. The aircraft displaces the air and creates pressure waves that become compressed and are then released in a shockwave. The RAF describes the Typhoon FGR4 as a "highly capable and agile combat aircraft" which can be "deployed in a wide range of air operations, including air policing, peacekeeping, and high-intensity conflict".

Southern Water begins £45m Bewl reservoir improvements
Work on £45m plans to install better drainage infrastructure at a Kent dam has begun.A series of three 30m-long (98.4 ft), 1.7m-wide (5.8ft) pipes will be installed at Bewl Water, near Wadhurst, to make the reservoir more new spillway, which will allow Southern Water to drain the equivalent of an Olympic swimming pool every minute from the dam, comes after recommendations following the partial collapse of Whaley Bridge dam in 2019, which saw 1,500 people evacuated from the Derbyshire Flasck, Southern Water director of water operations, said: "This project means we can keep the public safe if we have to in an emergency." Ms Flasck added that the new pipes would allow the water level in the dam to be lowered by 5m (16.4ft) in five days,. It currently can be lowered by 15cm (6in) in that would be channelled into the River Bewl, where it would then eventually flow into the River Medway.A Southern Water spokesperson said the spillway works came after a national report following the incident at Whaley Bridge, which mandated public safety improvement, but that it was "highly unlikely to ever be used".The reservoir is currently only 65% full after a spell of dry, hot weather and heatwaves in the South East and across the auxiliary spillway at Whaley Bridge collapsed following heavy rain, prompting a full-scale emergency rescue effort.A large crane is being used to lift the pipes in place, supported by a team of are being funded by money from Southern Water customer bills, with Ms Flasck adding that "every single penny" of bill payments goes towards projects, such as that at Bewl.
