Mr. Johnson has got it wrong yet again - I assume that Gordon and his
co-pilot will have difficulty in claiming Nick Goodhart's record as his
is the single seater goal flight record which, of course, still stands.

Incidentally Nick also remains the current World Gliding Two-seater
Champion. It has been reported that some people are keen to revive this
class again.

Well done Gordon, Nimbus or whatever, well done all the guys who did
great things on Super Friday. When you consider that Gordon was towed
off at 0345 and one of the Lasham pilots completed his 750k and landed
back at Lasham at 2130 - it was one hell of a day!

Does that mean that some rotten, unspeakable cad has taken Goodhart's
Lasham to Portmoak record? If so, I am really disappointed - sorry
guys, but doing it in a Skylark 3 is much, much, much, much more of an
achievement than using a Nimbus 3D.

Seriously, I hope they have the decency not to claim the record.
