Sorry......
this is not Murray Wardell the PW5 record claimant. This pilot's name
is Eduard Devonoges
and the location looks like the Piako gliding clubs field at Matamata.
(Know the pilot and field) :)
And he's not THAT old......

This is crazy. This months 'photo of the month' in kiwi gliding land
is the one attached... What sort of image are they trying to portray
- the PW5, the blue blocker sunnys, the flannel hat
what the!?
If you go to www.gliding.co.nz you will see that one of their pilots
has just set a distance-via-3TPs record of 600.1 km. World record in
PW5 class!!. Took him 9 hours, never got above 3500 ft and mostly
around 1500 ft. Not bad for a low scratch even if it was
rock-polishing! If this photo is the same bloke no wonder he looks
happy - though I'd be surprised if it was taken at the end of that
flight!!
