and Michael Sommer did not land out on day 1, or any other day. But that
doesn't detract from his excellent performance. How can we convince him to
become an Aussie? I don't think anyone has ever won a world comps for two
different countries before - maybe that is an angle?

Bernard,
I am sorry to correct you but, I have just checked the final results on the
competition website http://www.wgc2008.de/TASKS-RESULTS.369.0.html
and in fact David Janssen finished in 9th place, ahead of his team mate,
Graham Parker, who did win 2 days (outstanding Graham), and finished in 17th
place.
And despite achieving a 2nd, 4th, and 3rd place during the competition, Butch
finished 32nd in a field of 50.
Congratulations to the entire Aussie team at Luesse!
ROSS

Hi all
I just learned that Graham Parker and David Jansen have returned their two
ASG 29 to Schleicher for container loading later this week. John Buchanan
has also returned the borrowed ASG 29 factory demonstrator and is now
on his way back to Australia.
Congratulation to the entire Aussie Team and crew for a splendid effort at
Luesse. I'm especially happy for my mate Michael Sommer who has
successfully defended this title in open class after landing 1 km short of
the finish line on day one. In open class the first 4 places went to ASW 22
pilots.
In 18m class 1st and 3rd place went to pilots flying ASG 29 and the story
would have been similar in 15 m class if the pilots had not made a major
tactical error on the last day.
Graham Parker managed to win two days and managed to come 11th
after outlanding one day. I understand David Jansen is close behind.
John Buchanan managed to come 4th on two days but also had an
exceptionally bad where he scored even less than 100 points.
All in all a very good result for our pilots. I can't wait to hear the
stories
first hand.
