The Jon Egging Memorial, Bournemouth.

 

This cliff-top Memorial in Bournemouth serves as a permanent, dedicated location for local residents and visitors to pay their respects to Flt Lt Egging, who tragically died when his Red Arrows Hawk jet crashed in the fields by the River Stour near Hurn Airport, after displaying at the Bournemouth Air Festival on 20 August 2011.

 

The memorial sculpture stands five metres high and is made up of three stainless steel contrails covered in red, white and blue glass discs with three glass Red Arrow jets soaring into the sky. The sculpture is accompanied by a memorial plaque which reads: "Always follow your dreams. Blue skies"
