Not aviation, but. I'm sure there are some proud people standing tall - unit, parents, spouse, family etc

Remarkable man. Brave beyond words and totally selfless. Just a small piece of bronze on a ribbon; a token of our gratitude.

Tpr. M. Donaldson VC.

BZ that soldier. However, the A in SAS stands for Air - so that's the link with aviation :ok:

Respect from a New Zealander.
Well done to the man.
I'm a pacifist and don't believe in any of this craziness, but...he deserves it.
