Great Question Ron, I got what you were chasing straight up. I'm in the same boat for many of my future championships around the glove. For the others that haven't figured out the Question:
Can I go to a Lithuanian competition and compete in a German registered glider; or Can I go to a Polish competition with a Slovakian registered glider; or Can I go to a Slovakian competition with a French registered glider: or etc One thing I can answer, when I obtain a BGA license I'll be able to fly a Finnish glider at the Finland Pre-WGC this year.
