A young airman complained yesterday that he couldn't take a news picture "to Mave himself". And casually he mentioned a few moments later that he'd once snapped car upside down in New Territories paddy field. Last week the China Mall published four photo- graphs of the Stars and Stripes flying upside down from the American Consulate that camern- MBR was not employed by any newspaper. He just happened to react quickly to an unusual sight.
