26 JUN 07: MANUEL'S AWARD

WORLD circumnavigator Manuel Queiroz, who flew solo around the world in just 39 days in a single-engine aeroplane last year, has won the Royal Aero Club's Britannia Trophy, one of the world's greatest aviation awards.

Manuel has joined a distinguished list of aviators who have previously won this trophy including Sir John Alcock, the first person to fly non-stop across the Atlantic in 1919, Sir Alan Cobham, pioneer of long-distance flying, Alex Henshaw MBE, WW2 Spitfire test pilot, who set the world record for a return flight to Cape Town in 1939 which still stands today, and Worcester-born pilot Sheila Scott, the first person to fly over the North Pole in a single engine aircraft.
