"This photograph was taken by a family friend, Karel Mařatka. It was shot just after the end of an unveiling of a memorial plaque on the 19th of May, 2001. "Dad's former colleagues, civilian pilots, asked the Czechoslovak Airlines to sponsor the event. Their flags were hoisted on wooden masts on the lawn near the house and the marketing department agreed that I would represent them wearing their uniform. My relief that we managed the event is well visible. It rained and we were soaked to the bone and tired dead. The preparations for the event were exhausting even though my mother was a great help as a sort of 'liaison officer'."
