British PM Tony Blair with Trade & Industry Secretary Alistair Darling above along with Environment Secretary David Milband made the visit to Whitstable

To take a fast RiB to the offshore Wind-farm on the Kentish Flats

Lending a helping hand Port Controller Graham Croft said "You don't want to fall" Tony Blair "No that would never do"
