Goodyear Trophy

This trophy is of a silver seagull and was first competed for in 1948 at Wolverhampton Municipal Airport. The race was a handicapped race of 65 miles over a 3 lap course. The Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company was a previous sponsor of the National Air Races, when the company used to look after the turn points.
