The Walt Billett Loving Cup Group

At first glance, this picture doesn’t look too creepy, right?  It is pretty normal, all the men who have won the Walt Billett Loving Cup posing with the trophy.

17 men in suits pose with a trophy assembled from trash cans, bread pans and drain pipes.Except, look a bit closer.  Not all these men are who they seem to be.

A close view of the picture shows that some early editing work was done - the faces of some of the men have been pasted onto the men in the picture.A close view of the picture shows that some early editing work was done - the faces of some of the men have been pasted onto the men in the picture.A close view of the picture shows that some early editing work was done - the faces of some of the men have been pasted onto the men in the picture.Look for more info on the Walt Billett Loving Cup in the “History Preserved” column of the April 2015 issue of Model Aviation.
