Bert Judge Launching
This very poor quality picture is the only one I have ever seen of Bert Judge releasing his model in the actual Wakefield Competition.
Bob Copland launching
The only picture that I have seen.

Allman High Jinks on board!
Unusual picture because J. B. Allman (Wakefield Cup winner in 1934) was known to be somewhat 'professorial' in character!

A Denis Fairlie photograph
There are very few photographs of the actual Wakefield Trophy Competition in Detroit - So I will display the only (poor quality) ones that I have.
