Tom Clayton's US Tour, 2001

All these photos were taken by Tom Clayton on a trip around the south-western USA in October 2001. His main means of transport was the Martin 404, but he flew in the Bushmaster and several other aircraft as well.

Tom has kindly let me use these photos, and he retains the copyright.
