Question Plessey Trophy

Anyone know the history of the Plessey Maritime Trophy? When did it start? Was there a forerunner? Guess what’s being presented near a Sunderland Float in Northern Scotland Tomorrow?

The OC of what was ADAC now DLTS something or other has a file on the beasty with history the other option is SLOPS at N'Wood or is he/she now SO2/3/J4/5 now. They used to be the deciders a while back or if you can get one of the old codgers out the home such as Four Bellies he knows just may not remember too well .

Correct me if I am wrong, but, given the cuts over the last 10 years or so, I believe the 'Float' Sqn now has a 50/50 chance of winning it every year!

Some would say (not me) that the odds are better than 50/50 with next door!
