Alan and others it is wonderful to see Finland from the good old 1976 days. Think I saw David Jones there as well as a young Ingo R and George L. Always remember how on that last day Ingo removed the ballast bags from the PIK 20B to make it light for that last day as he faced with almost certain outlanding in the very poor weather. Importantly he won the comps. Ian McPhee
