Blenheim, 22 Regt RE had a dining in night at the prom. Very atmospheric with their dress uniforms well in keeping with the Napoleonic re-enactors down the hill.
That night they also had a proper French-English engagement with artillery advancing and retreating. The finale to that piece was a solo demonstration of Congreve's Rocket troop.
The battlefield was cleared, the crowd line moved back and some rockets fired.
Sadly the RFC, after their defeat by the Americans, was not represented.
