Hi all Here is another report from Germany. Kind regards Bernard Thursday, 31 July 2008 David Today we did a 2.5hr AAT at 133kph. The total task time for Graham and I was 2:30:21 exactly for both pilots. There is a slight difference in the speed due to slightly different task lengths however we are both very happy with today's flight. We had chosen a start time at our post briefing meeting however we were still on the grid at that time and were unable to start until nearly an hour later. As it was a practice day there was no grid order and the start gate opened 20 minutes after the first glider launched. Interestingly the fastest speed in the 15m class was flown by a pilot who started within 3 minutes of our chosen time.... Graham and I managed 5th/6th for the day with a 1 point difference in scores. This is a great confidence booster for both of us and puts us both in a great frame of mind for the beginning of the competition next week. Graham's glider performed noticeably better today so I have a little work to do and they should again be equivalent. This evening the British, Italian and Dutch teams combined their already considerable resources to host a team party prior to the competition. They provided a selection of cheeses, Parma ham, cold sausage slice, wine, beer, bitterballs, hearing, breads and sweet treats to successfully cater for over 500 people.
