:07:19. > :07:22.Only one in six people would support the idea of building an airport
:07:23. > :07:24.in the Thames Estuary, if it meant closing Heathrow,
:07:25. > :07:29.That's the finding of a survey commissioned by Medway
:07:30. > :07:32.Council and Kent County Council, which spoke to 2,000 people.
:07:33. > :07:35.38% of them supported an estuary airport, but that figure fell to 16%
:07:36. > :07:39.when people were told that existing facilities would close as a result.
:07:40. > :07:44.The findings come as the Mayor of London Boris Johnson prepares to
:07:45. > :07:47.submit his final plans for an estuary airport to the government's
:07:48. > :07:56.Our Business Correspondent Mark Norman has this report.
:07:57. > :08:02.For more than a decade residents here have looked at computer

:08:06. > :08:09.airport being built in the Thames Estuary.
:08:10. > 2:40:19Now, just before the Lord Mayor submits his final plans for the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Boris Island, a survey says 38% of the UK population would support the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19idea. However, that number more than halved if they think the other
2:40:20 > 2:40:19airports would close. That was done on line, speaking to people round
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the country, some campaigners believe locals should have been
2:40:20 > 2:40:19given their views and we have come to Gillingham do that. Heathrow is a
2:40:20 > 2:40:19good airport, so I would keep it open. I wouldn't like one on the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19estuary, when you go for walk it is beautiful and I would hate to see
2:40:20 > 2:40:19planes flying round. It's a good idea because it is easier for people
2:40:20 > 2:40:19to commute from here as opposed to going up to London. The impact of
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the airport is local, so it is a local issue and the KCC and Medway
2:40:20 > 2:40:19council in their wisdom didn't ask locals. The original serve survey
2:40:20 > 2:40:19was commissioned by Kent County Council and Medway council. They
2:40:20 > 2:40:19have both been opposed to an estuary airport and both welcomed the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19findings of this survey. 38% were in favour of the proposal, but of
2:40:20 > 2:40:19course 62% were against it, until it was pointed out that Heathrow was
2:40:20 > 2:40:19going to close. That is not just saying Heathrow will close. The
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Mayor of London has been keen to get that over. As soon as people know
2:40:20 > 2:40:19that we have a figure. Five out of sings people do not support the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19airport. And Boris Johnson will submit his final plans for an
2:40:20 > 2:40:19estuary airport to the Government commission tomorrow It hasn't been
2:40:20 > 2:40:19ruled out yet. There is considerable work going on to bring all, as many
2:40:20 > 2:40:19facts and figures together as possible, and it has not been ruled
2:40:20 > 2:40:19out. It could be ruled out in October, but it currently it hasn't
2:40:20 > 2:40:19been. Sir Howard Davis will give his recommendation for extra runway
2:40:20 > 2:40:19capacity to Government next year. Heathrow, Gatwick and possibly an
2:40:20 > 2:40:19estuary airport all in the mix. Former Sussex cricketers Lou Vincent
2:40:20 > 2:40:19and Naveed Arif have been charged with match fixing by the England
2:40:20 > 2:40:19and Wales Cricket Board. The charges relate to two matches,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19including a 40 over game between Sussex and Kent at Hove
2:40:20 > 2:40:19in August 2011. If found guilty,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19it will be the first time the game's authorities have proved
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the outcome of a county match Police are making a fresh appeal

2:40:20 > 2:40:19We will have special programmes throughout this evening bringing you
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the results as they come in of the local elections in the south`east.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19That starts at 10.25 this evening. A coroner has criticised
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the Ministry of Defence for a series of failures over the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19death of a Kent soldier in a fire, which engulfed his tent, killing him
2:40:20 > 2:40:19and another soldier as they slept Private Rob Wood from Gillingham

2:40:20 > 2:40:19of systemic failures according to Rob Wood's son was just
2:40:20 > 2:40:19three months old. Words cannot express how
2:40:20 > 2:40:19very much we miss Rob. Becky can now begin to piece
2:40:20 > 2:40:19together a way to tell Noah, as he For the moment, when you ask Noah
2:40:20 > 2:40:19where his daddy is, he replies The inquest heard that Privates Wood
2:40:20 > 2:40:19and Hutchinson retired to bed in a transport troop tent just
2:40:20 > 2:40:19before midnight. At 3.30 in the morning,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19two other privates were called away to deal with an arriving aircraft,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19leaving a non`commissioned officer, who, according to an unwritten
2:40:20 > 2:40:19rule, was supposed to stay awake. He was later woken by the smell
2:40:20 > 2:40:19of smoke and tried to raise the alarm, but the fire quickly
2:40:20 > 2:40:19spread to where Privates Wood Their loss continues to be felt,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19within the regiments Both men were highly dedicated
2:40:20 > 2:40:19professionals The coroner concluded that
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the fire started due to faulty wiring, there was only one exit

2:40:20 > 2:40:19should be covering on South East When a World War II Spitfire pilot
2:40:20 > 2:40:19was shot down over Kent during the Battle of Britain,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19he left behind some very poignant 74 years on, those items
2:40:20 > 2:40:19are being sold at auction. Les Ricalton was flying over
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Maidstone on 17th October, 1940. His plane exploded as he was trying
2:40:20 > 2:40:19to intercept 60 German aircraft, and his watch stopped at 3.40pm ` the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19exact time his Spitfire crashed. Sara Smith has tonight's
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Special Report. A collection which tells
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the story of one brave pilot. For Les Ricalton,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Ricky as he was known, war brought the chance he has waited
2:40:20 > 2:40:19for all his young life ` to fly. First as a light bomber covering
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the retreat from Dunkirk, then as a fighter pilot.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19As the Battle of Britain raged in the skies over south`east
2:40:20 > 2:40:19England, more men were needed. Ricky stepped forward.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Then, on October 17th 1940 his plane was seen falling to earth.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19German aircraft, there was probably six or seven of them, so you know
2:40:20 > 2:40:19you are flying above them, you can see them, and the cause goes
2:40:20 > 2:40:19up and the dog fight begins. I don't think it's being
2:40:20 > 2:40:19a bad pilot would get you shot down, very often it was the luck.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19The starkest evidence of that luck running out, his watch.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Its hands stuck at the time that afternoon
2:40:20 > 2:40:19when its owner lost his life. I think it's a poignant reminder of
2:40:20 > 2:40:19what these young guys did for this country, and it is very important to
2:40:20 > 2:40:19realise that they defended this country against enemy attack.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Simply, if they hadn't have succeeded in the Battle of Britain
2:40:20 > 2:40:19we would have been invaded. This year is the 70th anniversary
2:40:20 > 2:40:19of D`Day. If it wasn't for people like Ricky,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19there may never have been a D`Day. They helped to get the Germans off
2:40:20 > 2:40:19in the 1940s and did his part, and you know, and unfortunately he gave
2:40:20 > 2:40:19his life to defend his country. Flying Officer Ricalton was 26
2:40:20 > 2:40:19when he died. This collection, with his letters,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19photos, and his watch, frozen in time, goes to auction next week.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19A reminder among all the statistics, that these were real people who
2:40:20 > 2:40:19gave their lives. One of the South East's few touring
2:40:20 > 2:40:19theatre companies returns to The company, Transport,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19has toured far and wide But tonight they're back
2:40:20 > 2:40:19in the town, performing a modern take on the classic tale
2:40:20 > 2:40:19One Thousand and One Nights. The company chose Folkestone
2:40:20 > 2:40:19as its base to make theatre part Now with his magic carpet, he could
2:40:20 > 2:40:19travel where ever he wanted to go. It is the Arabian nights presented
2:40:20 > 2:40:19for today. He decided to visit... Magic carpets
2:40:20 > 2:40:19all that sort of thing, they are folk tales from more than 1,000
2:40:20 > 2:40:19years ago. They are based in Egypt. Syria, Iraq. They tell of people
2:40:20 > 2:40:19forced into exile. Familiar modern themes.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Until finally he landed on aisland called the UK.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19`` an island. He didn't like it very much. It was cold and grey and it
2:40:20 > 2:40:19rained and the food was horrible. The actors are in Transport; a
2:40:20 > 2:40:19touring company based here in Folkestone but as the name implies
2:40:20 > 2:40:19they are on the road most of the time, so why lay down roots in the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19extreme south`east corner of Kent? My family were from Kent, so I know
2:40:20 > 2:40:19this region really well, when came down to Folkestone in 2000 # I loved
2:40:20 > 2:40:19what was happening in the town and the buzz that was happening, with
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the regeneration. Because of there is so little provision for the arts
2:40:20 > 2:40:19and particularly theatre in this region, it felt this would be the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19perfect place. Transport has been building a solid
2:40:20 > 2:40:19reputation with tours all over the country, all over other country,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19while as it comes as a surprise to find out Folkestone has a touring
2:40:20 > 2:40:19theatre company, there is a chance to experience them here from now
2:40:20 > 2:40:19until Saturday, on their home turf. No! You mustn't eat it. Is it fun? I
2:40:20 > 2:40:19love it You have seen it running round like small children. Yeah. It
2:40:20 > 2:40:19is great. We talk to the audiences after and every child has a
2:40:20 > 2:40:19different take on it, and it is fascinating.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19The show began in rehearsal here at the quarter house and now its
2:40:20 > 2:40:19stories of far away times and countries are coming back home.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Eighty years ago a Napier Railton sports car set
2:40:20 > 2:40:19a new world record travelling round the Brooklands race track in Surrey
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Thanks to a company in East Sussex who are creating a 3D simulator,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19visitors to Brooklands will soon be able to experience just what it was
2:40:20 > 2:40:19like to be a daredevil driver in the 1930's ` as Neil Bell reports.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19It was the fastest thing on four wheel, roaring round the first ever
2:40:20 > 2:40:19race track at up to 170mph. 80 years on the Railton special which broeshl
2:40:20 > 2:40:1947 speed records looks and sounds just as impressive. Later this
2:40:20 > 2:40:19summer visitors to brook lands will be able to experience the remarkable
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Railton in a 4 D effects theatre What people will get is a real feel
2:40:20 > 2:40:19for what it was like, because Tay are going to see the car, feel the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19car in this 4 D theatre. You will feel the bumps when we buck the run,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19that is what people are going to feel and experience in our new
2:40:20 > 2:40:19theatre. The company are world experts in creating simulators and
2:40:20 > 2:40:19effects theatres and have finished work on a new Red Devils experience.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Today's project is different We have done projects at the Science Museum
2:40:20 > 2:40:19in the last few years, we have created a 3`D animation to the moon.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19What we have tried to do is put the audience into a situation they would
2:40:20 > 2:40:19never normally be able to experience, for example the back
2:40:20 > 2:40:19seat of the Red Arrows jet or driving a 1930s car. Modern day
2:40:20 > 2:40:19racing may have plenty of fans but vintage motoring thats a sense of
2:40:20 > 2:40:19adventure which they are keen to capture. Skill is most important
2:40:20 > 2:40:19now, in brook lands it was bravery and the size of your bang balance.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19There wasn't so mum delicate driving skill but hanging on to these
2:40:20 > 2:40:19machine, just risking your life. Back in the 1930s driving this car
2:40:20 > 2:40:19was as exciting as motoring got. Thanks to modern technology people
2:40:20 > 2:40:19will be able to enjoy that thrill once again.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19will be able to enjoy that thrill once again.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19They maintain they're not barking mad, and that this is
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Animal lovers Matt and Leon Henderson`Rood have created
2:40:20 > 2:40:19a boutique hotel in Shoreham ` just for dogs.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19It offers the kind of experience humans would expect
2:40:20 > 2:40:19from a luxury weekend ` such as massages, pedicures and mud wraps.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19It even has a plunge pool and TVs in the bedrooms.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Victoria Holland has been to investigate.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Spa treatments, luxury kennels, and even a gym. And all this is just for
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the dogs. When Leon and Matt set up the spa
2:40:20 > 2:40:19they wanted to provide the doggie deck dance their own pets have come
2:40:20 > 2:40:19to expect. We didn't want to send our dogs to kennel, we wanted them
2:40:20 > 2:40:19to set up in a nice boutique style, beds, cushion, so each dog will
2:40:20 > 2:40:19settle in and throughout the day they will have a happy environment
2:40:20 > 2:40:19with lots of dogs to play with. The House of Hugo named after one o they
2:40:20 > 2:40:19dogs look after 40 dogs a day. But with special massages, and training
2:40:20 > 2:40:19schedules this is no ordinary kennel. There are four of these
2:40:20 > 2:40:19luxury rooms here, where pampered pooches like Aidan can stay the
2:40:20 > 2:40:19night. With everything from mud wraps to pedicures and facial, it is
2:40:20 > 2:40:19is a bit of doggie heaven. But it is not all fun and games.
2:40:20 > 2:40:19Many dogs like this are using the hide therapy pool to recover from
2:40:20 > 2:40:19injury She was stiff before and wouldn't put weight on her back leg,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19so she is half way through and it is really building her muscles up. So
2:40:20 > 2:40:19fantastic, all the doggie daycare, really good. Working with dogs in
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the people, people say dogs don't get depressed. I I know they do. So
2:40:20 > 2:40:19their wellbeing and making them fool good, it is is like when they get
2:40:20 > 2:40:19the spa treatment when they come out, our Airedale especially, he has
2:40:20 > 2:40:19an air of grace about him when he comes out, like saying "Look at me,
2:40:20 > 2:40:19I have any new hair." They think they have one of the biggest luxury
2:40:20 > 2:40:19dog hotels in the country. They hope their business can keep growing and
2:40:20 > 2:40:19it is not just fleeting puppy love. The weather now.

2:40:20 > 2:40:19was some sunshine round but plenty of cloud cover and these really heft
2:40:20 > 2:40:19requesty showers. Temperatures round 16 or 17 degree, of course where we
2:40:20 > 2:40:19saw the sunshine feeling warm but under the heavy showers not feeling
2:40:20 > 2:40:19pleasant. So the southerly breezes, picking up where we saw the shower,

2:40:20 > 2:40:19going to be mostly dry as get to the early hour, lots of cloud cover

2:40:20 > 2:40:19temperatures again not particularly chilly, lows mostly in double
2:40:20 > 2:40:19figures. Ten or 11. That likely to be heavy for a time. That sets is up
2:40:20 > 2:40:19for a wet Saturday. Sunday and indeed Monday are going to be
2:40:20 > 2:40:19improving. Feeling warm by Monday, temperatures in the top teens and
2:40:20 > 2:40:19low 20s. Look at this not looking pleasant for Saturday. Lots of rain
2:40:20 > 2:40:19round, in to Sunday getting a mild picture. The area of low pressure
