Wonderful details from album session, I am a big McCartney fan... But there's no details from photo art session date?

Hi Tony, by any chance, do you refer to this photo session https://www.the-paulmccartney-project.com/1979/01/photo-shoot-for-christmas-with-wings/ - indeed, so far, the details I've collected are limited. All the best.
