Hi Rob--
Nope...the Thompson and the Bendix, yes (at NASM), but Britain took permanent possession of the Schneider Trophy via the "third-straight" victory of the Supermarine S.6B in 1931. The trophy is displayed alongside the surviving S.6B in the Science Museum in London as it has been for many years.
Cheers
