As a cold war warrior with a medal-free chest (despite 20 years’ service and a few thousand hours in my log book!), I find myself immensely proud when I read of extraordinary courage and coolness under fire like this. I’m so glad that, despite all the damage wreaked by successive governments, the Royal Air Force still has people of this towering stature. Many congratulations to the whole crew.
TTN, excuse my ignorance, but how does one get sight of the citations for awards like this? I’ve burrowed around in the Gazette, but I’ve given up… (LMF probably)
