Out on my trundle yesterday, I was as usual thinking about the state of the world, and reflecting that, during the Second World War, this part of South-East London was very much on the front line of the defence of the capital. Sutcliffe Park in Kidbrooke, about ten minutes from my flat, was one of the areas where they anchored barrage balloons. Yet now it seems the very forces those guys were fighting against have returned. I used that as the springboard to put together this film. It isn’t perfect, and probably could have done with a bit more editing, but I think what I’m getting at is clear enough.
