About the Webster Memorial Trophy Competition; The John C. Webster Memorial Trophy Competition was established in 1932 by the late Dr. J. C. Webster of Shediac, New Brunswick, who wished to perpetuate the memory of his son, John. John Webster lost his life in an aircraft accident at St. Hubert, Quebec, while practicing to represent Canada in an aerobatic flying competition The Trans-Canada Air Pageant. In July, 1931, a month before his death, John had represented Canada in his Curtiss-Reid Rambler in the King’s Cup Air Race in England. The Webster Memorial Trophy Competition is an annual event committed to declaring the “Top Amateur Pilot in Canada”. Amateur pilots aspiring to a career in aviation can be proud to affirm that they have competed in one of Canada’s most prestigious aviation events. Eligibility to compete for the Webster Trophy is limited to by following criteria; Any Canadian citizen, British subject or landed immigrant holding a valid private or commercial pilot license or permit issued by Transport Canada, except persons who have:
