Fincastle '06 ASW Competition

摘要

In 1960 the late Mr and Mrs Aird-Whyte presented a sliver tray to the RAF in memory of their son Sgt Nairn Fincastle Aird-Whyte, who had been killed in action in 1943 whilst serving with RAF Coastal Command as an air gunner. The following year anti-submarine warfare (ASW) crews from the Royal Canadian Air Force (the current title is Canadian Forces [CF]), Royal Australian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force and RAF battled for the trophy in what was to become a unique competition.
