The Royal Marines band strikes up
Uni: Twenty One Guns and Footie on the Beach, Plymouth Hoe and Salcombe, Devon - 15th June 1986
Down on Plymouth Hoe, there's a 21-gun salute, courtesy of the Marines. Nosher burns nearly an entire roll of film, which is an expensive thing to do for a student, to get a shot of the actual flames exiting the muzzle of the field gun. Later, Mike Bey drives Nosher, Dave Lock and a mate over to Salcombe, for a look around. Whilst over on the other side of the river in Portlemouth - thanks to the small ferry skippered by Cap'n Birdseye - various games of cricket and beach football kick off with a group of local lads.

The guns are all ready
The Marines prepare to fire
Flames and smoke from a blank shell going off
More gunsmoke
Three field guns on the Hoe
A field gun looks out to sea
A light-spoiled photo of the SU pyramid
The SU pyramid and the LRC in the evening light
A blurry view of the Barbican
The Barbican through a starburst filter
Salcombe
The lads stand around in Salcombe
The lads walk past 'Offshore Sea Chest'
Some dude soaks up the sun in a pub beer garden
Looking up the river
Kingsbridge Estuary
Mike Bey, Dave Lock and his mate
A pub in Salcombe
The Salcombe Jetty
Cap'n Birdseye takes passengers over the river
Light dances off the gentle waves
On the beach
Mike Bey gets his shoes off
A small boy steals the ball off Dave
Mike Bey does a bit of keepie-uppie
Dave's on the ball
Mike's mate in loud shorts
Mike's mate gives the Vs up
Dave Lock runs around
Dave 'the shorts' Lock
A post-game group photo
The beers are out
Walking back in to Salcombe
Salcombe river - the Kingsridge Estuary
Climbing up a whole pile of steps
High in the hills overlooking Salcombe
Fishing boats and yachts in Salcombe Harbour
