I dunno, I managed my Silver Distance (in a 1-26, thank you very much)
with a barograph and a little card for the landing witness to sign. No
camera, no destination declaration, just get in and go. And of course
you're an instant celebrity when you land at the airport at the other end
of the trip in a dumpy little glider. Great experience.
