and sabre. I think,at the time, there were three schools competing: Halton, Cosford and St Athan. We were the first AATS team to win the trophy. Those in the
photo were: back row L to R; Myself, 'Del' White, Brian Knott and 'Du' Duval. Seated O i/c Fencing (can't remember name) Wg Cdr Pollard CO AATS, Mr Harry Birch
(Fencing Master); Front sitting: Bill Poynton and ? Cooke. At some stage the McKewan Trophy was lost but around 1975 it was found at the back of a display case
at RAF Halton. The apprentice schools had closed by this time and so the RAF Fencing Union approached AVM McKewan's widow, Lady McKewan, for permission to
re-allocate the trophy. She agreed and the RAF Inter-Unit 1-Hit Epee Competition was introduced. I am happy to say that I captained the RAF High Wycombe team
who were the first winners and also had the pleasure of receiving the trophy (for a second time), this time from Lady McKewan (in her 90's) who came for the latter
stage of the competition.
