As ever, absolute respect to all Chinook mates for doing a truly spectacular job under the most demanding of conditions (see below re the Musa Qala incident in May 2008); this was a thoroughly deserved award.

Thanks to all on 18 and 27 that I've been lucky enough to fly with this year - albeit under more benign conditions; always a privilege!
