Sassoon Trophy

Hipper - "This trophy was presented to the RAF in 1953 by the Right Honourable Sir Phillip Sassoon, Bart., Under Secretary of State for Air, for competition between squadrons of the Wessex Bombing Area of the Air Defence of Great Britain."

The strange thing here is the fact that Philip Sassoon died around 1939 which might therefore imply that the Trophy was awrded obviously prior to that but re-allocated in terms of the comp it was awarded for!
