Flying high:

What some people will do to attract Obiter's attention.

'In a desperate attempt to get ourselves into the Gazette (and raise money for charity),' Alison Smith of Chester firm Walker Smith & Way, writes, 'five of us jumped out of a plane'.

The least Obiter can do is feature these legal eagles (one of the few legitimate uses of the phrase), from left to right: Richard Thomas, Ms Smith, Tony Britlin.

We are pleased to report that all five all landed safely, raising more than 1,500 for the Cancer Research Campaign.
