Canada F5D Team

Here is a picture of the Canadian F5D team at the end of the team trials.
Here are Canadians flying in ideal weather conditions. I have been told that in the F3B World Championships in August 1983, also in York on the Knavesmire, all kinds of weather conditions were experienced, including hail. So maybe the Canadians' practice will pay off. Let us hope not!
