13 JUL 07: BRITS OFF TO EURO CHAMPS

LATER this month, the Finnish National Aero Club is hosting the Advanced European Aerobatic Championship at Joensuu. Three British pilots will be flying the flag for the UK, led by veteran campaigner and LOOP columnist Alan Cassidy.

For the other two pilots, Julian Murfitt and Stephen Madle, this will be their first experience of international competition. Steve and Julian will be flying their Extra 230, and Julian will be undertaking the nine-hour ferry flight. Alan, who currently flies a mid-wing Extra 300 in competition, will be using a similar Finnish aircraft rented locally. They will join something like 40 other pilots from a dozen European countries for the contest.

The trio's preparations include a training camp hosted by Bembridge Airport on the Isle of Wight, a well-chosen destination as the mainland was rain-bound while the eastern tip of the island remained clear for both days.

LOOP will cover the event in a future issue.
