The flight is written up in AG - May 1982. Flown on 17 Jan 1982:
Mildura -Lascelles-Ivanhoe- Broken Hill- Mildura - 1042 km. 1001 km actually
achieved.Some "interesting" country overflown there! Take off at 10.35,
landing (in a paddock 15 km north of Wentworth) at 9.00 pm. He flew 954 km
(1025 task), a few days prior to this. O'Donnell was 18 years old at the
time, with approx 670 hrs gliding time.
For WPP, Matthew Scutter (and other newer members of the GFA), this is the
same guy you flew against in the Benalla Nationals (Club Class), a couple
of weeks ago.
My congratulations to Matthew for his fine 1000 km flight. Perhaps the first
of many??
Cheers,
Gary

Might be Stephen O'Donnell from Sunraysia GC in an LS-3a about 30 years
ago.

Hello All,
Just wondering what is the youngest age of an AUS pilot to complete a
1000km in AUS? Whether that be a FAI or OLC 1000km?
Keen to know, Matthew Scutter managed the feat out of Gawler very
recently, at age 19 (I think)!
Well done Matthew, looks like I've got some catching up to do over the
coming 25yrs...
