Dominic Underdown, a helicopter instructor from Lancing in West Sussex, was runner-up in the awards.
In December 2006, the pilot of a Pitts Special Biplane suffered engine problems and put out a Mayday call. The aircraft was damaged during the subsequent forced landing, trapping the pilot. Radio calls were then heard from the distressed pilot who believed fuel was leaking.
Mr Underdown was instructing in an R44 helicopter on a navigational exercise from Sandown on the Isle of Wight to Redhill in Surrey. He landed the helicopter adjacent to the crash site in Goodwood, West Sussex and, together with his student and a passenger, managed to free the pilot from the wreckage. Using his medical skills from a previous career as a nurse, he offered medical support until the emergency services were able to attend.
