I have read that the award of the HCAP Master's Medal is the prerogative of the Master. I have seen two letters from two different Masters.
Does this mean TCT will get two medals, while Tim Peake only gets one?
Yes.
The medals are for different reasons.
She is getting one for nav (I think it was iirc) and one for promoting women in aviation (or some such).
I did say someone should mention the value of his award to Tim Peake. I suppose he can put it next to his "Rear of the year" award if he gets one. Same shelf at least.
I presume one is REALLY for Ewald, and I applaud this, but he's going to be like one of those art collectors who have a stolen piece of art. He will have his Masters Medal to look at, but he'll just look at it on his own sometimes.
I think it's a bit mean of HCAP to give him his award in this way.
