Default RE: TOM BRETT'S DESIGNS-UPDATE

Duane, you are correct that Tom Brett became world champion in 1962 although strictly he was joint champion. The event was held at Kenley in the UK and Tom tied for first place with the UK's Harry Brooks. A fly off was held which Tom won and so he held the trophy. Attached is a photo taken at the event of the joint winners Tom Brett and Harry Brooks. I was at the event and it was the first time I had seen flyers from overseas, I was a teenager at the time and it was quite an experience.
