Double win for Richard Verrall at Sleap aeros
by NICK BUCKENHAM

LIKE a beautiful time warp away from our busy world, Sleap airfield in Shropshire once again provided the perfect backdrop to the BAeA's Golding Barrett aerobatic competition over the first weekend in June.
The sole entrant in the Beginners class, Andy Wilson and his Yak 52, posted an easy 66% at his first outing.
At Standard level for the Golding Barrett Trophy, the competition was rather more intense. Richard Verrall in his smart Extra 300L adding to his tremendous Fenland debut by leading John Wicks (CAP 10), Chris Waddington (Pitts S1) and the rest of the class home for this venerable trophy event.
At Intermediate, Paul Tomlinson continued his extraordinary run of success, this time Chris Burkett and Luke Goddard making an all Pitts-S1 line-up for the higher level.
