It was always Tim Routsis’ intention to try to win awards at an American show. Its come 10 years too late for him, but it is a terrific achievement for the crew at HFL. Well done to all. Is this the first time a British restorer has won such an award?

IIRC Ralph told me that TE476 won an award at Sun-N-Fun when she visited after arrival in the US, not sure if it was Grand Champ but after looking on their site for ages for the results for that year I’m none the wiser.
