Sir - I enjoy detailed images such as these series (trying to work-out the sequence of events). Unfortunately I cannot see the No2 in the series of 3 and it would seem that either 1 or 3 is printed backwards...
Thanks for such an amazing collection made available to the general public.

The issue with Photo 2 of 3 not showing up in the series has been corrected. In examining Photos 1 and 3, it did look as though one was reversed, as you said. Our best assessment was that Photo 1 was displayed in reverse and that has now been corrected as well. Thank you for your sharp eyes in noticing this and for bringing both matters to our attention.

Sir - thanks for correcting the No2 image access - unfortunately it looks like no image-reversal of No1 has been done.
I guess you determined that No3 was correct due to distant terrain - but it wouldn't really matter to me - all I see is that we still miss-out on the run-in to that "gotcha!" moment.......
