I wouldn't be surprised if the F2C boys
and especially Ferenc aren't a bit pressed
for time.

I had an SMS from Graeme saying they would fly the VA comp today, but no results yet, should you be in bed Steve, or are you like me staying up to get the results? Murray did a 3:10 in the heats with the DD no sweat, by far the fastest model according to G.

It does not get dark until after 9.00pm today so I assume they have plenty of time to fly, although it does not help us, maybe lots of cups of tea until the results come through.

Got another email later to say it was not on and to go to bed, so I did!!

" The First and the Last ' . , SO .

Wrist straps got 1st and 3rd .
Hungary and England .

3 months with more twists and Turns than an Alpine Pass ,
Tension to match the cables of a suspension Bridge .

And TWO YEARS ? to " the Sequel " . ? ? .

" Moki Vs Oliver Tiger "

(were negotiateing to the rights of " the Vidieo " )

(Excusively Via the ' Blue Sky Mineing Company ' . $ 25 U.S. , , ,)

RIGHT , Well then . .Rothwell. 1 , 2 , 3 .

we presume England and Hungarys Engines are still serviceable .

and truthfully , someone has to produce an edited FILM of " the SAGA ".

In the Style of The Time . With analitical laid back Sound Track .

and there needs to be some international consideration of any
amendments to the period regulations per aeroplane. Without
getting persnickity. Bar baring unobtainium.

A full report on my desk in the morning , Sir . Along with the Tape .
