I remember the first day of traces when the pilots ran out to Six Mile
Bottom then Hus Bos (furthest point). The traces showed some flying
1500ft above cloudbase. In particular I recall John Giddens flying the
ASW-22 north about to the Wash for 2 hours before landing at Hus Bos,
mostly in cloud. Then there was Graham Skelly's 'maggot racing'
program;^). Good times.

Maggots were good. The room I had at Enstone would be packed with
people watching what others had done. They'd come back later to look at
the maggots for those who landed out - usually with chuckles of joy...

Poland was fun, as the overseas was the first BGA comp to allow loggers.
It was a steep learning curve, as I was scoring, checking photos and
doing the loggers.
