Firstly, I have no desire to initiate an inter service urination contest.
Secondly, I find the difference in presentational approaches interesting, the RAF's being a straight list including commendations and the RNs being narrative but only gongs. BZ to all those awarded in all services.

An MBE for Major Dave West RM (Ex 3CBAS/847NAS) OC Environmental Training Team, Commando Helicopter Force seems to be the only one for Naval Service aircrew or maintainers.
I suppose at a stretch the CBs for Rear Admiral Mike Utley (last captain of Lusty), for his work as Commander UK Carrier Strike Group and the Maritime Lead for the D-Day 75 commemoration, and Commodore James Parkin (Ex-captain of Bulwark (L15)), for his work as Commander Littoral Strike Group.could be included at a stretch as aviation related.
