The year Mitch won the F3A Nat's and I was second. We were both 25 at the time, so younger than Dave B is now :ohmy:

Phil Williams was also in the top 20 as I remember, back in these days there used to be regularly 50-60 entries all flying in the FAI class regardless of what class they usually flew. Happy days!

Surely a remake needed for the next Flying matters

Don't believe we could do a reconstruction, Mitch can't find those wellies.

I was, of course, including myself in the criticism. We are all as bad as each other. maybe it's a sign of the times, the instant comment and the ease of reply.
In this case, the "mistakes" were deliberate. That is not always the case. :dry:

Phil rote

A clever and almost believable defence
