![]() The Hedges Butler Challenge Cup left: Mrs. John Dunville |

The word 'Butler' is missing from the Hedges Butler Challenge Cup. The scroll on the cup shows Montgolfier and Charlier (hot air and gas balloons) on the left and the Santos Dumont Airship passing the Eiffel Tower (in 1901) on the right. It was won by Mrs. John Dunville in Banshee II in 1912, 1913 and 1914 and so under the rules became her property. This information was provided by John A. Baker, Chairman of the British Balloon Museum and Library. |
