As far as I can remember, Wally did the weather for the UK Championships in 1961 and 62. He also came over to Upavon a few times and John Willi called him for advice when doing something special. He was a lovely man and I had a copy of his book (now lost) and read it more than once.
A  read I recommend.

If you ever flew with the club, or were just a visitor, please get in touch.
