Ross,
That topic headline line reported a fatality at Bennalla today, it was
not to do with Davids flight.

David is on the ground at Benalla. 1558 km in 11 Hr 45. What a fantastic
flight.
He over shot Benalla and turned back at Lake Eildon in the hills to the
south adding another 100km then overshot again to the east and turned back
at Wangaratta. If the day is still going then keep going!
No accident, I know David. David has had this flight (and many, many
others) planned for ages and each day he checks the ISO charts for the right
pattern. When it looks right he is already prepared and launches as early as
the day permits. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Then one day
it turns out like it did today and Perfect Planning Produced A Perfect
Performance.
It helps that he is also a superb soaring pilot.... I guess.
