This weekend saw the Triple Crown Home International F3A Competition between England, Ireland and Scotland. Scotland was the host country and the contest took place at Castle Kennedy airfield in the south west corner of the country.

Four teams take part with an International team made up of fliers from each country. Five Contradrives were flown by Steve Burgess and myself from Scotland and Brian Carolan, Paul Houlihan and Niall O' Sullivan from Ireland.

Our "auld enemy" England won, Scotland were second, Ireland third and the International team fourth. The contest is low key with the social side being as important as the serious bit but traditionally it is where the latest pattern innovations and designs show up in our part of the world. Our Contras sparked a lot of interest and I wouldn't be surprised if others now follow.
