Default Battle of the Giants Part 1- FX55 v 510 Pyro - Disappeared?

Over a year ago John Finch made 3 videos which he called Battle of the Giants. These being an attempt to see which of the 3 developers resulted in the best prints

Part 1 was FX55 v 510 Pyro in which John felt by a small margin was won by FX55. Part 2 was FX55 v Pyrocat HD and Part 3 was PMK v Pyrocat HD

Part 2 and 3 I can find but not Part 1. It appears to have disappeared When first shown it was there, I actually saw it and indeed at the start of Part 2 John Makes reference to Part 1

I won't bore you with what sparked my interest the second time around so to speak. Suffice it to say that there was a lengthy thread on Photrio on 510 Pyro

OK so if it's disappeared why am I asking you?

It's simply that I want to eliminate the possibility that somehow it is still there but I have missed it and cannot find a way of retrieving it

I have sent an e-mail to John Finch but I don't expect an answer for a few days so on the off chance someone here knows where it is and can direct me there, I decided to ask

Thanks

Mike

Just a short follow-up on this. I received a very prompt and friendly reply from John Finch. He has decided to do a a re-shoot of Part 1 and until he does it has been removed.

So I am relieved that not finding Part 1 wasn't just me being a computer dunce

There is a new video from John about FX55 where he runs a test FP4+ 135 film through a test shoot at Brodie Castle on the hottest day of the year.
