Mr Freeman could now land the £10,000 top prize if he has another good run on Sunday.

Not sure he's won the big money though judging by what the above says.

Excellent, well done Ron!
I'm sure they'll manage to find a loop hole in the rules though, but sure hope not!
See you out there!!!!!

Well Done Ron, excellent flight.
From Bill's link it seems - final scores based on flights on both days of the two-day event.
Hope it goes well today Ron, best of luck.
