Well Mal, Normally I don't bother responding to your Aus-soaring posts, rather just press the Delete button. However this time you have called me a cheat and I can't let that one pass, I detest cheating and those people who do it.
There have only been two times I have competed against you in a gliding competition in the same class. The most recent was the 2009 NSW State comps in 18m class where I placed 6th and you placed 10th. The first was at the 20m GP at Narromine, where Mark Rowe and I shared the Narromine Duo Discus and you flew with Peter Summersby in Massie's Duo Discus. In that competition Mark & I placed 1st and Peter Summersby and yourself placed 2nd. That competition was run by Henk Meertens, a man who holds two of the FAI's highest awards, The Paul Tissandier Diploma and the FAI Silver Medal. Henk also sits on the Airservices Australia Board of Directors where he holds the position of Chairman of the Board Safety Committee and is a life member of the GFA. The competition organizer was Beryl Hartley, known to just about everyone in the gliding community world wide, a former President of the GFA, a life member of GFA, current Treasurer of the Sports Committee and holder of the FAI Pelagia Majewska Medal, awarded by the FAI for eminent services to gliding over a long period of time. The Referee for that competition was Rob Moore OAM, a life member of the GFA, past President of the Sports Committee and one of the nicest and most honest people I have ever met in my life. These pre-eminent citizens of the gliding community ran that competition and made all the decisions Mal, all I did was fly around the course faster than you did on most days, there was no cheating involved, just better flying. Get over it. No flaming, just the facts. ROSS _________________________________________________
