Brabyn Trophy
Royal Air
Force CRANWELL
The location of the Brabyn Trophy was still unresolved. It
was last presented to a Flt Lt on 74 Sqn at Valley, which has now disbanded. It
was hoped that the piece might be stored at Stafford. The trophy was awarded to
the Hawk Instructor who gave the best aerobatic display. The award has not been
given for many years, as time precludes an aerobatics competition being held.
It was resolved that the CFS Silver member would continue to investigate the
whereabouts of the Brabyn Trophy.
