Exif Editor

I'm sure there are hundreds of exif editors out there, but when this used to happen to me (more times than I care to admit ) I used Aperture which has a nice auto-dating feature for to solve exactly this problem. You just set the correct date on one photo, and it fixes all the other specified photos with the same date offset. I imagine Lightroom has something similar, but I haven't looked for it.

Thanks Tim
Have now found this for Lightroom. Will give it a try tonight .........
Change the photo capture time
Sometimes you need to change the capture time for your photos. For example, you might need to change the capture times if you traveled to a different time zone and didn’t change your camera’s date/time setting before you started photographing, or if you imported a scanned photo into Lightroom, the photo would contain the creation date of when it was scanned, rather than when it was taken.
Note: The Edit Capture Time command cannot be undone by pressing Ctrl-z (Windows) or Command-z (Mac OS). You would need to use the Revert Capture Time To Original command.
1.With photos selected in the Grid view or the Filmstrip, or with photos in Loupe Compare, or Survey view, do one of the following:
■Choose Metadata > Edit Capture Time.
■In the Metadata panel with EXIF information displayed, click the arrow in the Date Time field.
2.In the Edit Capture Time dialog box, select the type of adjustment:
Adjust To A Specified Date And TimeChanges the capture time to the date and time you specify.
Shift By Set Number of Hours (Time Zone Adjust)Changes the capture time by the number of hours you add or subtract to the original time.
Change To File’s Creation DateChanges the capture time in the camera EXIF data to the file creation date. If you select this option, skip step 3.
3.In the New Time area of the dialog box, do one of the following:
■If you selected Adjust To A Specified Date And Time, type a new date and time in the Corrected Time text box. You can also select the date and time values and then use the up or down arrow buttons to increase or decrease the values.
■If you selected Shift By Set Number Of Hours, choose a value from the pop-up menu to adjust the time forward or back.
