I read about it yesterday ( yes I read the NOTW on a Sunday for educational purposes ) but didn't expect to see it down here as it was supposed to be following the england team up the M1 to Luton.

I only just managed to get my phone out to snap it ... not exactly david Bailey standard... especially when you look at it on a text size photo

I bet the guys in the CCTV camera wondered what the **** an little ginger lass was doing taking photos of them...

Arsenal had one after the last game of the season celebtrating Highbury, Qantas use them for advertising, a bit too common place these days.

Does the pilot has a quick release mechanism for the flag I wonder, curious to know if a huge gust of wind could cause a massive shift of direction to the flag and thus the chopper.

Fancy having to roll that up at the end of the day !!
