Pilot Officer C H Hight - a tribute: Pilot Hight Road, Bournemouth (3)
One of two road signs with Spitfire images at each end of Pilot Hight Road, Bournemouth. The road was named in memory of RAF Pilot Officer Cecil Henry Hight from New Zealand, aged 22, who died 15 August 1940 in the Battle of Britain, and the only Allied airman to have been killed over Bournemouth town during the Battle. These new road signs with Spitfire images replaced the ordinary ones at Pilot Hight Road in 2010. Image

West Howe: Andrews Close
Andrews Close is a cul-de-sac off Springwater Road in the heart of the large West Howe council estate. It leads to Heathlands Primary School (now Heathlands Primary Academy) which can be seen facing us at the dead end. The sign is a modern one, from around 2010 when the borough introduced this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms. This is photo no.10 of a series of 451 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project See https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/My-2020-Coronavirus-Lockdown-walking-project for the complete set of photos.

West Howe: footpath U26 from Pilot Hight Road
Looking along this broad public footpath that leads down to Moore Avenue (see Image). Many of the footpaths on the West Howe estate and thereabouts have been given names in the last couple of years, a safety initiative whose intention is that, in the event of calling for help, one's location can be more easily described. This one has been named Spitfire Walk, no doubt a nod to the fact that the estate's roads are all surnames of servicemen from the Second World War with a local connection. The only road to have a word before the surname is Pilot Hight Road, from which we are looking. Pilot Officer Cecil Hight was a New Zealander who flew Spitfires in the RAF. Coming under fire in August 1940, his aircraft was hit in a major air raid over Bournemouth. It is thought that he diverted his plane to avoid the town centre and it crashed in the Meyrick Park area - he died as a result of parachute failure. See also Image
