Pilot Officer Bradshaw Wins Modelling Award

Pilot Officer Bradshaw recently entered the Newark & Lincs Model Expo 2004 and won both Model Class and Best Aircraft Awards. Plt Off Bradshaw's modelling peak was achieved during 1985, when he had numerous IPMS class wins and a National trophy (19 years ago), and again in 1990 (14 years ago). Other duties (such as pattern making) stopped him competing until his recent win. Congratulations lets hope he continues entering the competitions and maybe Trent Wing could consider a Staff/Senior Modellers competition at the next wing field day.
