Timeline
On 15 August 2020, the 80th anniversary of his death, a service of remembrance was held at his grave.
A new memorial stone was unveiled on 15 August 2015 at the junction of Walsford Road, Benellen Avenue and Leven Avenue, Bournemouth by the Mayor of Bournemouth. Pilot Officer Hight died close to this site.
Bournemouth council named a road in West Howe "Pilot Hight Road". In 2010, new street signs were installed carrying an image of a Spitfire.
A memorial service for Cecil Hight was held at St Peters church on 7 April 1943. The New Zealand High Commissioner unveiled a plaque of RAF brevet wings with 'NZ' in the centre, designed and carved from Kauri wood by the pupils of Hight's old school, Stratford Technical High, in New Zealand. The service was broadcast live to New Zealand and heard by Hight's mother.
Hight joined 234 Squadron at RAF Leconfield in Yorkshire, which was re-forming with Blenheims, but from March 1940 re-equipped with Spitfires. During the Battle of Britain he flew Spitfires with 234 Squadron out of RAF Middle Wallop.
On Thursday 15 August 1940 a massive German raid of 70 bombers escorted by around 200 fighters was spotted off Portland in Dorset. The warning sirens sounded at 5.20pm in Bournemouth. 234 Squadron, including Pilot Officer Hight, was scrambled to repel the attack. Around 6pm his Spitfire, R6988, was hit over Bournemouth.
Hambledon, the house in whose garden Hight's body landed, was itself bombed in an air raid just before midnight on the night of 14 November 1940. Alfred and Edith Hoare were both dug out of the rubble, but Alfred died on the way to hospital. He was pronounced dead at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Bournemouth on the 15th, and is buried in Wimborne Road Cemetery. The Hoares' garden of remembrance continued to be tended by local people.
In early 1938, Hight worked his passage to England to join the Royal Air Force. He failed to meet the educational requirements, so took a cramming course in mathematics and on reapplication was provisionally accepted for a short service commission. He began training on 6 January 1939, was made Acting Pilot Officer on probation on 15 April, and completed training becoming Pilot Officer on probation on 6 November.
Hight learned to fly with Stratford Aero Club, obtaining his 'A' Licence at the Western Federated Aero Club in August 1937. A photo from the Stratford Aero Club archives show him with his 'wings' badge awarded to those who are qualified to fly solo.
Pilot Officer Cecil Henry Hight (6 September 1917 – 15 August 1940) was a New Zealand born fighter pilot who served with the Royal Air Force during World War II. He was killed in action during the Battle of Britain.
Hight was born on 6 September 1917 to Herbert Edward Hight and Emma Hight (née Anderson), of East Road, Stratford, Taranaki, New Zealand. In his teens he was educated at Stratford Technical High School. As a youngster he helped with his father's milkround, and after he left school he became a car salesman.
