Paul, Stuart, Gary et al, We are all friends here. I have no issues with the use of the photo - I am pleased to see it getting used. It would be a bit rich to be precious about claiming intellectual property anyway given that the camera was David Pietsch's!
Other than the photo, the flight was memorable for being my only flight in an ASH. I must amend that one day...... perhaps it would make a good reason to come out of competition retirement!
