The BGA Open Class National Championships will be held at Enstone Airfield, Oxfordshire, from June 8th to June 16th, both dates inclusive.

Under the new BGA rules for competitions in 1996 it will be mandatory for every pilot to carry a Flight Recorder.

Validation of all flights will be by computer analysis and evidence from Flight Recorders may be used to verify any possible airspace infringements.

Flight Recorders are now used for primary evidence with cameras used only for back up evidence.
