This issue was accidentally truncated at the end of the F1A Euro Champs results. We were going to add them to this issue but decided not to because a possible cause of the truncation was the length of the text and seeing this issue has important information about 2 up coming World Cup events so we will hold that over to the next issue. One or two people reported that they only got the table of contents. This is something to do with your email provider. the issue is online at www.faifreeflight.org.

More on Mongolia
Ross’s Review
Roger,
The report from Leigh Morgan is very informative, giving us a westerner’s
perspective. Chimed Ganzorig of MASA Mongolia also wrote an informative
report for the 2014 Sympo, and MASA Mongolia reports contest results and
other F/F related activities quite regularly on Facebook.

Leigh’s Postscript
A couple of additional comments. I did some reading about Mongolia, one which I found useful was Tim Cope’s book Ón the Trail of Genghis Khan, another was ‘The Silk Road’ by Colin Falconer, and of course the Lonely Planet ‘Mongolia”. My interest in Mongolia started a few years ago after seeing a Mongolian film called ‘’The Tears of the Camel’’. It is set in the flying field area. It is an old film, and might be hard to get hold of now. Learning a bit of Mongolian would be useful, I felt it was poor on my part, that I had not done this.
