The SLASH Trophy - Help Needed

Folks, LUAS are currently in possession of a silver/chromed bed pan called the “Slash”. It has been awarded many times to some distinguished young Officer Cadets, now old, none of whom can remember why they were awarded the trophy. Can anyone enlighten us on its origins or qualifying criteria? It would be nice to start using it again.

Jay - It's mentioned in post 26 - by a shy recipient -
Liverpool University Air Squadron reunion

Was OLQs a requirement for UAS candidates in those days, or did they pick it up as they went along ?

Incredible response, I’ve contacted the recipient and he has brought me up to speed. Can’t wait to award it at the next annual dinner. Basically awarded for the most outstanding “achievement” of the year. Sounds similar to the Top Hat for those who know
