Mike Young takes an emphatic win

Mike Young won the British Overseas Nationals with an emphatic win, well clear of the field. Russel Cheetam in an ASG29e is reflected as outlanding on the second last day and did not fly the last day - sounds like something went wrong on the turbo, but i have no details. Both Gill Spreckley and Dane Dickenson finished well and must feel prepared for Rieti.
Slovak Republic SI (Vladimir Foltin) and DI (Viliam Kubovcik) are 2nd and 4th (with two days to go) in the Slovakian Championships and they must feel equally prepared for Rieti.
Pavel Louzecky yesterday took the Czech championships in JB - and must also fancy his chances in Rieti. His compatriot Jaroslav Tomana in GX placed second and they will make a formidable team in Rieti.
I can feel the tension building in the air for Rieti.
With us it is cold and wintry as the front is passing through and the best i could do is to go to gym every day in the last week. Tomorrow i hope for some post frontal weather and a last opportunity to do some setting up of my instruments.
I am on a Lufthansa flight on the 20th and Ulf and I will travel down to Rieti via Schempp Hirth.
regards for now.
