G'day mate. I had a google and kept getting models and Handley Page models at that.

Looks like the guy who made this held the trophy for a while?..




That Heyford was at Scalemodelworld 2006, and won;

Bronze in Category 21 (1/71 and larger aircraft), the Bomber Command Trophy, the Handley Page Trophy and the Ron Rowley Memorial Trophy. It was built by Aris Polyzos.

Vince
Unfortunately I lost interest in the trophy because I was surprised to learn from that photo that the Heyford's four bladed prop was simply two props bolted together? Was this a common solution back then?

So I googled more images of the Heyford and sure enough...

But with this photo I lost interest in the props and was more concerned with the dead(?) guy laying prone on the concrete...?!



So I stopped googling.
