Meteor by Mark J P

All of the meteor talk in the news recently has reminded me that I saw one last March while driving home from work.  I had just enough time to grab my camera and press the shutter button before it disappeared.

The photo isn’t great but it is straight out of the the camera and here is a slightly closer look:

Metero close up

I had never seen anything quite like it before in my life and haven’t seen anything similar since.

A few shots taken at the recent Bournemouth Air Festival 2011.

There was unfortunately some very sad news with one of the Red Arrow planes crashing after the display and the pilot, Flt Lt Jon Egging losing his life.  Books of condolence have been opened at Bournemouth Town Hall that can be signed by the general public.  Lots of messages and wreaths of flowers have also been left.
