The South African Nationals started yesterday in Welkom - about 260km
South West of Johannesburg. What makes this years championships
amazing is the participation of Bobby Clifford who is taking part in
his 50th consecutive South African Championships. Is there a pilot
anywhere else in the world who can claim too have flown in 50 of his
countries national championships?

Club class veteran pilot, Bobby Clifford (flying in his 50th
Nationals) managed to win the day with a speed of 90 kph. Well done
that man!!
