Is there anyone out there who flew at Turweston in the 80s/90s?

Hi everybody I would like to gather some information about a passive reflective device which could be used to increase the visibility of a glider. It was described to me as follows, during one of those typical launch point chats: It takes the shape of small sphere, mounted just behind the canopy...

Last Saturday I let another club member fly my glider. As always, the 302A CFR was on and logging. He uploaded his flight to the OLC, but it doesn't show up in the Gold League scoring. His club affiliation appears to be fine, the .igc file is valid (green) and the flight is valid (green). The only...
