The Honourable Company of Air Pilots TROPHY AND AWARD WINNERS The information within this booklet was compiled and verified as accurate during the summers of 2013, 2014 and 2015 sourcing information from the Company Archives: from Minute Books of the GP&F, Court, and Trophies and Awards committee (and the committees which pre- dated them such as the Test Pilots’ Committee, the Executive Committee etc), archived copies of the “Guild News” (from February 2014 – “Air Pilot”) and various files relating to the individual awards. Citations for individual awards, where available, have been scanned and retained and are available from the Company office. The following rationale for dates is given: 1977/78 an award considered by the awarding body for the year 1977 and presented in 1978. 1978 not awarded (after consideration by the awarding body for the year 1977 no nomination was identified as suitable for an award presentation in 1978.) 1977 an immediate award considered and presented in the same year. From 2016 – all awards are listed as the year in which presented. … one small historical note – no awards were made for the year 1958/59 as the award committee decision had become so distanced from the presentation ceremony (nearly 18 months), the Court took a decision that nominations should not be sought. There was another small adjustment made between the presentations of October 1963 and the next presentation ceremony of February 1964 (the Master, Michael Majendie, did apologise to the awards winners that they would only have the trophies for a very short time!)
