Paddy Teakle - Stolen Medals

I'm sure many of you will know Air Cdr Paddy Teakle:

Last week, someone broke into his flat in Belgium where he is serving with SHAPE and stole, amongst other stuff, his medals including his DSO, OBE & campaign medals ranging from Falklands 82 through to Afghanistan.

There is a bit of a campaign to see if they can be recovered with some good coverage across social media and now some more mainstream press:

Campaign To Find Senior RAF Officer's Stolen Medals | Forces TV (ignore the usual media description of little old me!)
&
Thieves steal senior RAF man's medals - Telegraph

If anyone has any Belgian media contacts, or the required language skills, it would be great to get their press to cover this story and hopefully recover these irreplaceable items.
