Jubilee Medals
heights good,
Not all Jubilee medals were given to everyone as the Golden medal was.
In 1977, the Silver Jubilee medal was allocated on a limited basis to unit commanders to distribute amongst the unit personnel. I was in command of a Flight of about 120 men and women and I was allocated one medal to hand out for the whole flight.
I recommended a Jnr Tech, who was probably the most talented propulsion fitter I ever came across in my career. But he had a phobia about promotion exams. He had taken the Cpl's exam about 4 or 5 times and barely got beyond writing his name on the answer paper before he froze.
Recommendation accepted; he was the only one on the flight who wore the medal and the girls and guys respected him for it.
