I'm not Euopean but I can confirm that this is the same Hans Beck who
was the 1966 World Indoor Champion. He flew with us in Rome in 1968 and
I visited with him at his home in Nurembeg in the '70s and saw some of
his toy creations there. I regarded him as a fine fellow who seemed to
be having a good life. Sorry to rear he is gone but glad to hear that
his accomplishments are being recognized.
