To hopefully put this matter to bed. Firstly it was an accident and no malice was intended by the flag raising team. How do I know this? Well, as it happens I was in London this week having a coffee with one of the ceremonial team and he and others had highlighted the potential for a mishap to occur but they were given a stiff ignoring by the officials. As aircrew mates that are use to securing things on a regular basis the potential problem was more then evident but unfortunatley the "suits" didn't want to know. Anyone with a problem should therefore discuss it with the wimbledon officials and not try to portion blame at the volunteers that have made the 2012 Olympics simply awesome.
