Fort Gilkicker 9th June 2024

Here is another drone video from our partner Mike Atthis.

This short video starts with a view from the south with Fort Monkton to the right and Portsmouth Harbour in the distance. We then do a circuit from east to west looking down at the fort.

You can see the brickwork now being done on the restoration of the Casemate 2 vault (second to last in the video). This is one of the four that were broken through when the 20th century gun positions were installed and it’s the last one to be restored.

The new red brick parapet was on the parade side of the roof is nearly complete with just the sections above Casemates 1 to 3 to be completed.

The drone then returns directly over the roof of the gun casemates from west to east before returning east to west viewing the embrasures.
