30 August 2010.
Having just received September's OG with the McLaren line-up, could I please make a plea of behalf of the photographers among your readership that, the use of 'Flags' adorning engines in the Static line-Up be 'banned'.

Perhaps we could exert just a little pressure on the few owners who perpetuate this habit.
