Nyal,

I think you need to do the 50k flight again, but this
time, do it in something that will make you REALLY
work for those 50k's. Flying that distance in a TG-3A
seems to be defeating the ideals of the FAI and/or
the other 'originators' of the Badges as we know them
today. :-)

You might has well have been in an LS8-18. Or, a 2-22.
