It's a big deal for Station Commanders..... a bit like the end of year prize for the house with the best record:
most distinctions or stars
best sports day performance
least amount of detentions
best colouring-in
tidiest desks
If you get awarded the prize, then you are recognised as a true company man and will be elevated to the Air Ranks. It's the important stuff that gets you recognised in the Royal Air Farce. Then one day, you have to leave, grow up and get a real job.
