The North Sea

The Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm is a Wind Farm located off the coast of Kent, England on a large, flat and shallow plateau just outside the main Thames shipping lanes. The wind farm is operated by Vattenfall. The distance from the nearest wind turbine to Whitstable is 6.2 miles (10.0 km). Construction was completed in August 2005, with commissioning and testing of all turbines completed by September 2005. The wind farm consists of 30 Vestas V90 3MW wind turbines with a total nameplate capacity of 90 MW Turbines were installed by the Danish offshore wind farms services provider A2Sea, This picture was taken by my son when he worked there as a service engineer taken from the crew transfer RIB. The turbines are turned off during servicing. He has since been reported missing whilst working in the wind industry in Japan. UPDATE I am pleased to announce he has now been found safe and well and he will be returning to wok in Japan (where he lives) soon. (16/11/22) Thanks for all visits comments etc it is appreciated
