2007 British Open
... The only flex wing at goal ...

Managed to get my new Wills Wing T2 144 the day before the start of the British Open comp and even managed to put it together and give her a fifteen minute check out flight. Needless to say everything was fine straight out of the box.
First task of the comp was a cross wind leg to turn point then semi crosswind to goal. Only 31k, but conditions were challenging. Pleased to say glider flew superbly no doubt contributing to my flight to goal where I arrived as the only flex wing to make it, the only other “goalie” was Neville Almond on his ATOS.
Unfortunately the rest of the comp proved untaskable so (more fortunately) resulting in a Wills Wing T2 144 winning the British Open and currently leading the overall series.
