What aircraft did you do your silver distance qualifying
50k flight in?


Don't have any badges.

I have, however, been to 18,000 ft in a Club Libelle, and won a 200+ km
contest task in thermals in a PW-5.

I did intend to claim a 50k once, but despite my making it VERY clear to
the pharmacist that I wished my negatives to remain uncut, and receiving
their assurance that would be no problem, they proceeded to cut my
negatives. I haven't bothered again ... I just go flying instead.
