Sonntagberg lor the Standard. Inevitably<br />
Lopitauxand Llerm ,did well again, but this time<br />
Swiss Hans Binder (Nimbus 3T) and Ingo came<br />
between them. Overall, Schram me and HoIighaus<br />
were still top, with Australians Mike Giles and<br />
Ingo 2nd and 3rd, L1erm 4th and Lopitaux 5th <br />
but with only 175pts between all ofthem. The 15<br />
Metre leader was still, as expected, Ganlenbrink,<br />
163pts ahead 01 Justin and Andy Davis still<br />
stayed put at the top 01 the Standard. It had not<br />
been the easiest day lor flying, particularly on the<br />
outward leg through the mountains, as lilt was<br />
patchy and gaggles developed. Baer Selen was<br />
down 10 300m above the ground near Semmer·<br />
ing, and ciimbea away at only O.2m/s with plenty<br />
01 time to study the almost unlandable country<br />

brink's birthday. There were thirty litres of Russian<br />
vodka, piles 01 food and more beer and wine<br />
lor 1he 500 plus people.<br />
Only one pilot did not enjoy the party, Rodollo<br />
Pen.teado, the only Brazilian, who thought his<br />
ASW-20 was Ilying like a brick. He was Jooking<br />
lora landing when Bruce Brockhoff called him to<br />
tell him that his gear was down. <strong>No</strong>t gelling a response<br />
,he got his Australian crew to contact the<br />
Brazilian crew; but in vain. Before landing<br />
Rodollo neatly raised his wheel.<br />
