There is a list of current records, but (to the best of my knowledge)
no archive of previous holders.
I could be wrong. I was, once.

I believe that a Blanik held the Free Distance 2 seat record in
Australia for many years. Something like Waikerie to Narromine?
Someone with access to historical information such as old AG
magazines, (or with a longer memory) may recall better than I can.

There was a long standing tradition for many years that Mark Bland
and various co-pilots would fly the Blanik from Mt Beauty to
Narromine and return during Narromine Cup week.

Question: Does anybody have an idea as to the max distance a
K13/Blanik has flown in Australia?
I seem to recall that a Blanik once held a World Record with a
distance flight of over 800 k.

No, I don't know what the longest is, but in 1989 Port Augusta
Gliding Club won the two seater decentralised competition with two
300s and a 500 in a Blanik.
If my memory serves me correctly the second place getter was a
certain large club who flew long flights in a high performance
glider (possible ASH25 but my memory is hazy) including one 1000km.
But we beat them on handicap.
