main objective at Largs. The flight was a fascinating experience,
and what contribution the photos will make to the various inqui-

It's worth noting, however, that my involvement in the flight
and before it in the Sighthill project, stemmed originally from the
inquiry by my colleague Alan Evans, about the possible significance
of markings on aerial photographs of Stonehenge. Aerial views of
Stonehenge and Avebury can be found in virtually every book on
archaeoastronomy, but few of the other megaliths seem to be cov-
ered. Aerial archaeoastronomy may well have a great deal to add.
