A total of 26 soldiers from the regiment travelled from their home at Ward Barracks in Bulford to the former Second World War Royal Air Force fighter base at Manston to support the Department of Transport conducting Covid-19 tests on the drivers as part of on Operation ROSE.

Anglian Water have got special permits from the Environment Agency to tackle the problems in Burnham Market, where flooding of the River Burn, the Goose Beck stream and extremely high groundwater levels have inundated the sewer network.
And Church Walk, part of the B1155 and the main way into the village from the west, remains closed after a problem with passing vehicles sending waves of flood waters into people s gardens.
