Max Hedt Vintage Trophy

The Max Hedt Vintage trophy was created at the 50th Horsham Week for the best performance in a wooden glider. In subsequent HW comps there were no entries of wooden gliders so it was decided to change the trophy criteria to award it to an individual who showed great promise, enthusiasm and a positive attitude. A second trophy in acrylic plastic was created in 2017 and known as the ‘Max Hedt Trophy’ with no mention of Vintage.This left us with the original trophy for Vintage gliders.It was decided to adopt this trophy as an annual VSA Award for the most meritorious performance by a vintage glider from a VSA airfield. The selection of future winners will be at the discretion of the VSA committee based upon recommendations from the Vintage Glider Association of Australia and/or applications from individual owners of Vintage gliders
