The guns are all ready
Uni: Twenty One Guns and Footie on the Beach, Plymouth Hoe and Salcombe, Devon - 15th June 1986
Down on Plymouth Hoe there are several field guns firing some sort of 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 single shot of the actual flames exiting the muzzle of the field gun. Later, Mike Bey drives Nosher and Dave Lock over to Salcombe for something to do. Whilst over on the other side of the river in East 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 Marines prepare to fire
Flames and smoke from a blank shell going off
More gunsmoke
The Royal Marines band strikes up
Three field guns on the Hoe
A field gun looks out to sea
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'
Someone 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 at East Portlemouth
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
A post-game group photo
The beers are out
Walking back into Salcombe
Salcombe's river - the Kingsridge Estuary
Fishing boats and yachts on the river
Climbing up a whole pile of steps
High in the hills overlooking Salcombe
