'Twas I.

CANP is slightly more use than a chocolate fireguard in that it positively attracts curious military aircrew to the site.

As stated, when filming over a large area such as the lake district and looking for a weather window, CANP is totaly impracticle. I rarely, if ever these days, bother with it.

I was carrying a Cineflex on a single pole nosemount; very neat but quite surprisingly the clumsy looking mount for the 24" Wescam doesn't degrade performance much although there is a considerable weight penalty.

I was filming "Beautiful Britain" for NBC who will use the material in their pre Olympic promotion. BTW neither the Hawk nor I was "low flying". As if I would! We saw each other at least a mile away and passed with a good 500' between us and a friendly "wing waggle" apiece.

If the Hawk jockey reads this I'd be delighted to see an acknowledgement.
