Bob Violett and my dad did some fighting in the airspace over England, guess who won.

Bob did, but my dad was not last.

I met your Dad at that event as I was on the Irish team and we found the Swedish pilots very friendly and willing to show us their models and discuss setups and techniques. I seem to remember that Rune Svenningsson was your star pilot and did quite well.

As you say Telford/Violett were unbeatable and deserved their win. Your Dad was not last - he was 22nd and beat me into 23rd place!

Here are a couple of shots of the Swedish and Irish teams.
