Trevor Dale flew the flag for Borders GC
successfully by taking the Bronze Medal in the Sports Class at the British
National Glider Aerobatic Championships with an overall score
of 74% after flying two programmes. This has also qualified him for
the BGA Sports Level Aerobatic Badge (need to score more than 70% at a contest
and be witnessed by the Chief Judge). Overall, in the
Handicapped Consolidated results he finished 7th out of 19 pilots which
included the current World Champion (from Poland) the former World Champion
(Dietmar Poll) and the current British Champion (Paul Conran) - needless to say - he was well
chuffed!
(Update June 1st - The BGA have now granted Trevor the Sports Level Aerobatic Badge and duly stamped and signed his Gliding Certificate.)
Trevor would like to extend a special thank you to the extremely generous help that Dennis Westgarth gave him in preparing his trailer leading up to this event, without which he reckons he would never have got 'ZD' there.
