Both Andrew and Greg made goal.
Andrew had 2 flights as he landed in the bomb out on his first and his second was about 4 hour 47 min to cover the 70+ km course.
Greg managed to get away but had some navigation issues and took about 5 1/2 yours to get to goal.
Me, well I nearly saved going into bomb out but eventually was tugged in. By the time I got up to relaunch then there was a n ambulance at launch as Liz from Taree had dropped into the trees just out from launch. I was about to re-launch when they closed the take off as fire engines had now arrived. It was maybe 1 1/2 hour before I was able to take off and shortly after I launched, maybe 3 minutes then the sea breeze came in from the East. I struggled for about 30 minutes and did make the start cylinder and exited, but only just, landing in paddock.

The excitement at launch.

The scene at goal: Croftby and Greg shortly after landing.

A very happy pilot!
