Thanks, there is a bit about Pirat Gehriger and the award to Martin Simons in the current magazine. But unless he was in Aus in late '40s would not be him I don't think.

Subject: RE: [Aus-soaring] Parap (?) glider There was a glider called a "Pirat" but my recollection (and my logbook) says that it was a single-seat wooden glider a bit like an Arrow. At the time I flew it (mid 80's) it was owned by Mike Valentine. There was a famous glider pilot named Pirat Gehriger. The IGC awards a Pirat Gehriger medal, which was awarded to Martin Simons last year.
