Herbert Weiss died on 21 December 2007 during the GP in Omarama.

I have not heard or found any report of the probable cause. Does anyone
have facts?

Thanks Darryl

I know exactly where the crash was - I have a photograph of the ridge
taken from the Southern Soaring Duo the day before.

I had looked but missed it - onset of senile dementia.
