It appears you are correct deefer dog.

HCAP clerk Paul J Tacon spoke an hour ago to Dave Jarvis, the Daily Mail journalist who wrote the story in Saturday's paper.

He confirmed there are two Masters Medals this year.

One well deserved to Tim Peake for his exploits in space.

The other undeserved ( in my opinion) to Tracey Curtis Taylor for her three month dual trip to Australia with airline pilot Ewald Gritsch.

She can claim she was the "sole pilot" of the Spirit of Artifice but denying there were two pilots on board might be more difficult.

At the very least HCAP should recognise Ewald's contribution.

By co-incidence TCT and Ewald received their FAA private pilots licences together at the same time and place
