I have just joined this forum as Dick Stratton was my uncle and I have a question which you gents may be able to help me with. Dick had a twin brother Gordon (my father) and he passed away in April 2017 at the grand age of 94 yo. He was also a flight engineer on Sunderland flying boats during the war.
When I went through his things I have found a trophy which was awarded to Dick it is the JOHN PLAYER AWARD FOR LIGHT AVIATION presented to RB STRATTON in recognition of his services to light aviation. Its in the form of a delta wing aircraft and is made of silver , dented, typical Uncle Dick.
Can anyone tell me anything about it? It doesn't have a date on it.
He was a great Uncle and obviously highly thought of . I wonder if anyone can help?
