[Talk-GB] OpenStreetMap's first flight!

[John McKerrell]

JR lives just around the corner from me so I should be able to get a  
copy of the photos onto my laptop. I'm going to the AGI conference  
next week so if anyone wanted they could then take a copy from me. I  
might even be able to host them though as he says, it's liable to be  
just a difficult to navigate collection of filenames.

JR - did you take a GPS trace while you were up in the plane? Oddly  
enough that might help me with the hosting.
