I would like to nominate him Terry but would not want to appear to have an agenda proposing him against TCT.

Maurice has a track record of opposing the rules,authority and not giving up when others would walk away.

His predicament in South Sudan is a classic example.

He got himself and the aircraft out when many predicted it was the end.

His attitude to life has been on his terms.

I respect him for that.

(I should perhaps say my support stops at any sort of direct involvment which history suggests problems to say the least!)

How a formal proposal for such an award leaves me scratching my head. When I suggested to Peter Benn at the HCAP that Lachlan Smart might be worth a Masters Medal for his record breaking solo flight around the world it involved a complicated submission that I walked away from.

TCT got one of the back of a PR company.

What and how would a citation for Kirk entail?
