When the journalist John McCarthy returned it was dark and we had to wait a couple of hours while they kept saying he was due soon, but as it got darker I have never seen so many photographers uncertain of what to do, few of us had experience of flash photos of someone emerging from a plane two hundred feet away. Some of the Fleet street lads persuaded ground staff to take flash meters out to where the plane would stop to check the exposure, I decided to use fast film and the 300 mm f2.8 at 125th on the unipod on a ladder on the back of a trailer, It worked O.K. as there always seemed to be another flash firing as I clicked the shutter.
