You can click on any of the pictures to make them bigger!



Back row L-R: Gary Wirdnam, Richard Lovelace, Dave Matthews, Robin Hamilton. Front row L-R: Carl Wallbank, Bruce Kavanagh


We are the proud owners of Gold medals (Robin tells me we are the first Brit team since 1991 to get Gold) - Carl and Gary were also presented with diplomas for their individual results in the top 10, well done guys.

Congratulation to Attila Bertok for winning the individual competition and to Robert Reisinger and Gerolf Heinrichs (second, and thrid). Someone told me that Attila is the first pilot in history to win both the pre-Worlds and then go on to win the World Championships!
