And so it came to pass - the image can be seen at
http://www.satellite.eu.org/image/Flare2.jpg
(there is also a gif - Flare1.gif).
Paul gave me the following information about it:
The photo was shot August 25. The Iridiums 22-26 passed through the
field beginning at 11:02:16 UT and ending at 11:03:47. The tracks are
ordered from top to bottom as 24907, 24906,24905,24904,24903. Local
elevation 35 degrees azimuth 212, slant range about 912km.
clear skies (unlike here),
