Great new look to the mag, but the Libelle article missed the most significant achievement of the old girl. Ray Gimmey won the 1972 open Nationals flying a Libelle!
I too believe we should be reviewing our accidents as George Theylen did in Soaring for many years.

There were a bunch of Libelle H301s flying in the '72 nationals. Mine, flown by my father Jack Bamberg, took 3rd.
