Byron Bay Gliding Club member Tim Howes broke the record for the total number of takeoffs and landings (thankfully, the figures were the same) to raise awareness of the plight of greyhounds. Thousands are destroyed because they are “surplus to requirements” by the racing industry. Please support his worthy cause!

Unbelievable story today – A woman saw Chris callihans grob 109 canopy fall to ground and hit a river and she dragged it to the shore and was not broken!!!!!. She eventually made contact with chris and he went out but it was washed down stream in floods and no longer on bank HE spend 1/2 day searching and as he gave up he saw a flash in distance on an island so he swam out and found his now broken canopy but he has a frame.
Similarly the AAFC 109A in SA was found by Bailey Roberts searching in his G109A
What a story with Chris
It may be caused by either swinging too far forward on hinge or somebody pulled wrong handle – who knows
