Sorry, civvy at the time of the award I meant. I think he was no longer Flt Lt by then.
Rare, but not unusual; I think there was a QCVSA for a "forced landing" in a biggish jet, but I can't remember and am too idle to Google it!
PS - by one of those amazing coincidences, just after posting the above, happened to read in a Concorde article that John Cochrane got a QCVSA in 1971 for his Concorde test flying...
