6 SEP 06: MORE ROOM AT THE TOP

THERE'S definitely room at the top for more British aerobatic pilots," says Alan Cassidy, LOOP contributor and sole British competitor at the World Advanced Aerobatic Championships, held in Poland over 3-13 August. Alan finished 11th.

The event was won by Russian Alexander Kurylev, flying a Sukhoi-29, but he was chased all the way by American Rob Holland flying an Ultimate 10-300 biplane. The Russian and US pilots dominated the event, leaving the usually strong contingent of French and Czech pilots behind. David Bruton and Eddie Goggins of Ireland placed 18th and 22nd.
