    For anyone interested you can find video of the flyover on youtube by searching for Mi Amigo.

    What a moving story, Jim - thanks for finding it and posting it. How apropos that Foulds wants his ashes interred behind the memorial - there, but for the grace of God....

    All the best,
    Matt

    Very touching story.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
