Does anyone know if a 27 crashed in Ely recently?

Boggs

Was told the last name is Marek

Marek Malolepszy

I roomed with Marek at Ely for a week in July 2017. Generous and kind man who was dedicated to his record flying especially out of Ely. We flew our own tasks so I didn't get a chance to fly together. Set a 300km Polish record July 1, 2017:

Mitch Polinsky after aborting a 750km triangle on Saturday said "One of the more frustrating days I've experienced" ... "Thermals were not well behaved". Dry SW flow in the thermal layer 20-25kts. Perhaps a broken up chopped up thermal day.

Very sad news... Fly safe out there
