Final glide Dick Beck
On 9 November Dick Beck passed away aged 89 years.
He was a founder member of the Drakensberg Soaring Club, being the CFI for many years and remaining an active member all his life. Dick's many achievements include two altitude records, set in August 1977 at Underberg. D-1 Altitude gain (9652m), and D-1 absolute altitude (11,640m) in his K6e. These records still stand twenty nine years later. We will miss his "war stories" and wry humour. Soaring has lost a pioneer, and a special person. -- Bruce Greeff Std Cirrus #57 I'm no-T at the address above.
