Naval Service Aviation Queen's Birthday Honours List 2020
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.

Usual waste of space awards until you get down to the MBE level, then loads of the usual useless waste of space commendations towards the end.
congratulations to those MBE and below that deserve and earned their awards.

Sounding a bit bitter there, Nutty.
Anyway, it’s the Andrew’s thread, not the Crabs.
