In st. class 10 pilots received the diploma. In 15 m. 8 , in 18 m. 10 and in open 7 .
Lots of great pictures have been made. They will be put on the photo album site today.
Thomas Rubaj got the prize for the longest distance and all 4 pilots who won in their class, are not only invited by Pierre de Broqueville as guests of his family and to fly in the Pyrenees, also the South African TC Caroll invited the 4 pilots to come to South Africa and fly with them.
