"It was a pleasure to welcome the Trafalgar Gun Company to BRNC and hear the distinctly-Nelsonian roar of cannon-fire echoing across the Parade Ground and down the River Dart on our Open Day. Our unique history and heritage both play an enormous part in instilling our world-class naval ethos into our trainees and this demonstration fascinated and awed both military and civilian observers, alike."

"The performance of the Trafalgar Gun Company was stunning. The firing of the cannons really brought to life what it was like on board one of Nelson’s ships in a battle, with the noise, the smoke and the smell. There was even the feel of the momentary increase in air pressure when the 6-pounder cannon was fired. The running commentary explaining the preparations for firing was excellent – clear, concise and accurate. The Trafalgar Gun Company was the highlight of the Exeter Heritage Harbour Festival." (Roy & Lesley Adkins, authors of Jack Tar, Trafalgar and Gibraltar)
