Too late! JR flew it yesterday afternoon in excellent conditions and I  
am waiting for him to post his first photos for inspection and to do  
his blog post about it - stay tuned - there may be an updated this  
afternoon.

I don't know who much else he managed to capture, I do know they spent  
most of their time over Stratford and has a lot of photos to show for  
it.

Peter
