Here are some images from the balloon ride on the day 11 people lost their lives.

The Coroner has determined to censor the images and prohibit me from publishing my work. I dispute his right to do this and also the manner in which he has gone about setting a precedent. Some of these photos may well breach his order which I hold in contempt.

The images show glimpses of the day from my first shot until my last…  the last two shots here are of the crash site, am I allowed to publish these???

Any family that wishes to can see all of the photos, this has been offered – only two have taken up the offer.

I invite anyone who wishes to to sit down and discuss this with me.

I protested publicly against the Vietnam War, against Nuclear weapons and I’m making a public protest against the withdrawal of freedoms by the Coroners action….

Finally, I wish to thank the Wairarapa and wider community for the tremendous support that has been given to us all through this terrible tragedy……

Thank you for looking
