Mark Jefferies won the British Aerobatic Championship on 28 April, a competition deferred from 2005. The event was held at Elivington, Yorkshire where Mark beat Alan Cassidy into second place with Steve Carver taking third.

The win comes hot on the heels of Mark's win in the opening event of the 2006 season, the Icicle Trophy at Sandtoft.

In both events, Mark was flying the Elite Twister Extra 300 sposnored by Exxon.  His  team mate, Kester Scrope, was runner up in the Icicle Trophy but had to reture from the Elvington event after sustaining  a back injury in training.

Mark is married with two children and runs Little Gransden airfield in Cambridgeshire. He has flown competition aerobatics for over 20 years and is one of the countries most experienced airshow pilots. Marks return to unlimited competition aerobatics began two years ago when both he and Kester began the successful collaboration with Exxon.
