Regarding competition numbers, I have scanned in some pages from the
official programmes for the seventh (1966-67 Narromine) and eighth
(1967-68 Benalla) National Gliding Championships.
These pages show competition number, aircraft type, pilots and owner.
Cross referencing this information with the Gliding Register in the 1969
Australian Gliding Year Book may sort out some of the confusion.
Note that the Dubbo Grunau IV and the Kingaroy ES57 were late entries to
the seventh Nats. and the numbers may have been unofficial. The numbers
100 and 101 appear to have been allocated to a couple of Boomerangs for
the eighth nationals.
I can find no reference to an ES57 registered to the Kingaroy club in
the 1969 year book but there were several privately owned in Queensland
by then. May be one of these was the one at Narromine. I vaguely
remember someone describing it as a MkIII but I couldn't swear to it
after all it was nearly forty years ago!
I have somewhere a photo showing Boomerangs 49 and 50 in the tie down
area.
cheers,
Ken
