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!

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

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.
