Winco,
Martin Cannard is no more profiting from this particular tragedy any more than your average medal-winning soldier is profiting from the war in Afghanistan. I cannot understand how it could be perceived otherwise. He had a job to do in the face of the loss of his crew and he did it well. I respectfully suggest that the crew's families would have had a potentially worse time of it had he not been at the helm.
Given the choice I am sure he would rather have XV230 and its crew safe at Kinloss than an OBE in his post nominals. He is exceptionally worthy of this honour and its award in no way implies any disrespect to the brave crew of the 120th or their families.
