Giant St George's Cross, made from cars.

I shot this last week from a Jet Ranger helicopter. We had to get the images to the agency ( Saatchi and Saatchi ) immediatley, so I shot it on a Hasselblad Ixpress H1D-22 linked up to a laptop Mac .

Read the press release here : As flags go, they don't get much bigger than this. Instead of flying a flag from their cars, workers at the Toyota Burnaston factory in Derbyshire have made one from cars. A crack team of 40 yard drivers and workshop technicians spent two 12 hour shifts reversing, turning and parking 400 Toyota Yaris cars into a giant St George's Cross. The flag measures 80m by 40m and is a big message from a small car. The flag, which can be seen from 1000ft in the air and from miles around, carries with it a heartfelt 'Good Luck' to Sven and the Boys from the 4,350 workers at the plant.
