It is not just TCT that is back-peddling.
It appears the Honourable Company of Air Pilots are re-writing her citation for the third time.
I hear that the medal will be awarded to TCT as Boeing and Artemis think she alone should receive the award.
However, the citation will now state in terms that there were two pilots and name Ewald Gritsch.
Given her new statement to the Portsmouth News the question now is why she deserves a Masters Medal.
There was nothing special in her trips or the organising behind them. It was the big sponsorship money from Artemis and Boeing that funded all the logistics.
It has also been suggested to me that a motion could be raised later by unhappy members at the HCAP AGM to remove the medal.
It certainly will attract the newspapers again if the LAA rescind her Bill Woodham navigation award just days before the HCAP awards dinner.
