More of the team arrives.


I had a flap out to the west today with the Pommy team. When I returned to the camping / landing I could see Scott Barratt assembling his glider next to the cabin.


Cameron turned up later frm Holland, Curt and Louise from the French Nationals. Denis Pagen is here to measure sprogs and had a long and serious conversation with Scott. Certification and sprog settings is going to be an issue.




We are in a cabin next to Davis and had an evening feast with the Straubs and friends.


Curt had a unfortunate incident with his harness zipper on the 2nd last day of the French nats. He was forced to land prone next to a pre school. After cutting the offending section of zipper out it was 4 hours later in hospital and on morphine that he was finally separated from the zip. Curt was not shy in showing us the damage. Cameron thought it looked like a bulldog eating custard. Curt and Louise are actually on their honeymoon! No picture for this.

  1. I wish you were Dutch so you wouldn't deny us the ultimate picture of Curts wounds

  2. Unfortunate incident with his harness zipper a la Ben Stiller in There's Something About Mary? THAT kind of incident?

    Hope not...and on his honeymoon!
