I thought I would finish this thread off neatly by posting the final outcome.
G-CBME has finished his low level extended photo sorties over my area (for the time being). I have now returned to quiet evenings at home without irate locals phoning me up asking "what the hell were you doing over the town today".
Sadly, it has not ALL been a happy ending.
Some of you will remember my thread about my annoyance when my wife bought an aerial photo of our house from a door to door salesman.
You guessed it.......it turns out she bought it from the owner of G-CBME. He had the last laugh
