Bournemouth: watching the Air Show from the roof

The Education Authority for Bournemouth has occupied Dorset House since 1990 (being the eastern office of the Dorset authority until 1997) but will be relocating in December 2009. Since it would be our last chance to take advantage of such a magnificent vantage point for the Air Show, we held a rooftop buffet and raised money for Help for Heroes, the charity which is the main beneficiary of the show. In the background, we are looking along Christchurch Road towards the Lansdowne clock tower, centre right.
