Three years ago today I met Nic, and it was all through the tragic accident that killed Jon "Eggman" Egging - Red 4 - of the Red Arrows. To mark the anniversary I make an impromptu visit to the memorial to the RAF pilot that is situated on the East Cliffs of Bournemouth.
Initially, I had intended to take just a few snaps and then leave, but whilst waiting for some decent light I was advised that the mayor of the town was due to make an appearance at 2 pm to lay a wreath in memory of the pilot (above). An unannounced ceremony, there were but a handful of passers-by to witness it, plus a representative from the local newspaper. In just over a week the cliff tops will be packed for the Bournemouth Air Festival; the seventh such event.
