Having heard planes flying over the hospital all day without being able to see them i suppose i better make the effort to come join you guys. My lie-in is going to take priority though! Think i'll get the bus into Bomo and give you guys a call when i'm there if that's ok?

And does anyone know which way the aircraft are flying (Say from Christchurch to Poole) coz then if they were flying that way, then it would be a great photo op of any aircraft coming over the Pier, and so a good location to sit up would be like...where we we went to watch the Fireworks a couple of years ago near that Italian place?

Hmmm. Somewhere near a bike rack with an active security camera, coz its a ruddy long way back home if my bike gets pilfed!

Are you driving or getting dropped off, and for either, where are you thinking of sitting/standing to watch?

The main activities, shops, etc are taking place between boscombe and bournemouth pier. So aircraft will come in any direction and do displays over this part of the sea. According to the guide they are having extra cycle racks down by the beach. I'm guessing we will just find a spot on the beach and chill out there. So until I actually get into bournemouth tomorrow I don't really know.

I will text you arron and send a pic of where we are tomorrow, most likely near Bournemout pier.

Well I guess most of you are still out waiting for the fireworks!

Thanks to everyone for a great day and it was good to see Jimbo again.

I've looked at my photos, thy're not brilliant. It was very hazy and most are ruined by a dirty sensor but I shall pick a few out.
