1999 Morning
Glory Expedition
Rob Thompson and myself had our G109 based in Burketown for about six
weeks - from about the mid September to late October. I flew up with John
Levett of Tasmania - we arrived just in time to catch a couple of waves,
and then John took an RPT back. I stayed on for a little while longer,
but nothing much happened. Nigel Baker from South Australia took my place
in the Grob shortly after I left (also by RPT), and I believe he and Rob
had some nice soaring.
Ross Edwards and Jim, the manager of Keepit Soaring Club, brought the
Keepit Grob up to Burketown.
Triple Pete was unable to come
in '99, alas. He pranged on Saturday 18th April 1998. However, we're expecting
him in 2000 - perhaps not in his own aircraft, but aloft nonetheless.
Ross Duncan of Newcastle turned up with his Mitchel
Wing, and was one of the group of four gliders which soared about halfway
across the Gulf. Ross may be contacted on 0249 42 5120
Rudi Gaismaier may come in 2000, he says. He's busy with the
amazing Grob

Accommodation may well be at a premium for the last two weeks
of September.
