Richard, As my post most assuredly acknowledges. But, not quite the point of the other aspect of my post. This outrage must be addressed somehow!

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Fw: Nigel's omission from what i have told Flarms were developed as a commercial venture. Sure Nigel applied the technical know how, but that is the business he is in and still is. finding anyone to back a venture is tough. Harry put a sizeable lot of cash at risk into this. Having backed a few ventures, including my own, putting what the majority of you would consider a small fortune into a small fickle market (gliding) takes balls and commitment. I think Harry should be awarded on that alone. On 24 Jul 2016, at 6:01 PM, Ian Mc Phee <[email protected]> wrote: Very well put Bob from another bloke 50 years continuously in GFA.

As Harry pointed out, the associated comments in the announcement were correct. Harry did finance the development of Aus Flarm when he had confidence that Nigel was on to something very significant for the movement. Harry certainly deserves his award for backing something so significant. However I am somewhat ashamed that the GFA, an association of which I have been a member for 50 years, chose to award Harry for his contribution , while ignoring Nigel’s even more significant contribution. Would not a joint award of that prestigious award have been more appropriate?
