I understand Steve Slater,chief executive of the Light Aircraft Association, has today spoken to the same journalist who wrote the Daily Mail expose.

I do not have his exact quote to hand but it is along the lines of 'if we knew then what we know now she would never have been given the award'.

However the Honourable Company of Air Pilots awards committee are still adamant that TCT will get her Masters Medal alongside Tim Peake.

It appears that Boeing and Artemis are pushing hard for this while the Hong Kong and Australian branches strongly oppose it.

One point I would like to clear up is that my suggestion that Prince Michael might be influencing the awards committee is unfounded.

Let us just say I have this on solid gold plated inside information and leave it at that.
