    Dear All,
      Gaston and I had a closer look at S02-002 and the z=1.08 looks more likely.
    There is some evidence of of H, K and OII at z=1.086, or H and K at z=1.067.
    The presence of the H and K lines, if real, indicates that there is significant host
    galaxy contamination in the spectrum of the supernova.

      We rechecked the flux calibration and found an error in the FITS header which
    had meant that the spectrum we produced was 10/3 to bright. I.e. S02-002 is
    actually three times fainter than Beethoven.

      We have put the new spectra and have included 2-d semi-reduced spectra on the
    web for people to inspect.

    Cheers, Chris.
