The results board, Bert (top right) took out fourth place. 

           
It has been suggested that Bert Persson was hatched (not born) ... perhaps a bit of a stretch of the facts. However, once upon a time, a much younger and more chubby-faced Bert's aviation exploits consisted of flying radio controlled model aircraft (as shown in the photos above taken in Sweden before he made the move to Australia).
