We had a highly trained group for the Hampshire Dwile Flonking and we were asked to demonstrate the activity in the grounds of Lord Montagu's estate at Beaulieu in the New Forest.. This was in the late 1960s & a moment in my life I feel immensely proud of . .

Yes Robert my spell checker went to bed early with a headache, I meant to say "Dwang Fanking" not Faking, anyway whatever they were doing in Kerry , be it Frank Ling the chinaman, or Frank Thing the monster, it is highly illegal over here now, the health and safety crowd again I believe, messing about with sore but harmless old traditions.
