-Obviously, Kings Cup winners did not get to keep the cup itself. My understanding is that the replicas were given to the winners to keep. So this one would have been given to Schofield, the pilot of the 1934 winning aeroplane.

I assume the aircraft owner got the Winning Cup, and the pilot/mechanic and key other team members got a "Replica"
Can anyone elaborate?
Do the original Cups exist in a single collection somewhere?
