I am a Whitstable boy born in 1958 I probably attended this carnival which I think is 1964 or 5 the sea cadet leader was a Stroud but I can’t remember the first name and I think that the young boy in the final frame might be Michael Hancock
I was born in Whitstable,my grandparents and parents were know for doing the carnival,Smithers and snook,my parents and grandparents floats are in this film I am also in it , brings back great memories .
Yes, the officer leading Whitstable Sea Cadets was my uncle, Alf Stroud. He died in 1980.
A little bit of Whitstable Sea Cadet history right their Linda. Thank you for telling me about the video, I think the Cadets would like to sea this too.
