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!)

    Order of Service for a Service of Thanksgiving

    Westminster Abbey A Service of Thanksgiving and Rededication to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain Sunday 20th September 2020 11.00 am HISTORICAL NOTE This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the first decisive Battle in history fought entirely in the air. Battle of Britain Sunday commemorates a dramatic turning point in both the Battle itself, and the history of the Second World War. The German objective in the summer of 1940 was to eliminate the Royal Air Force, both in the air and on the ground, in order to obtain air superiority in preparation for a potential seaborne and airborne invasion. Operating principally from airfields in France and Belgium, the Luftwaffe began their first heavy onslaught early in July 1940, directed against British shipping and the Channel ports. The intent behind this first phase of the battle was not only to sink shipping but also to draw the Royal Air Force into combat and wear down its strength. The second phase, from 8th to 18th August, consisted of intensive day operations against coastal radar stations and fighter airfields. The third phase began after a five-day lull due to poor weather, with attacks on fighter airfields in the London area and increased night attacks on Britain’s cities. The first daylight assault on London was made on 7th September and marked the beginning of the fourth phase, lasting most of that month, during which the capital became the Luftwaffe’s primary target. These attacks, although serious in themselves, brought vital relief to the fighter airfields, which until that time had been under considerable pressure.

Foreword Celebrating 150 years of the Cadets The Cadet Forces have, not unnaturally, come a long way from their 1860s origins. They have evolved into unique voluntary youth organisations, offering young people opportunities to develop themselves, to try new adventures and activities, and to learn key lessons in citizenship and the importance of society. But their links to the Armed Forces are as strong as ever. In many areas of the country they are the only face of the Services in the community. They take pride in the values and ethos of the Armed Forces and the lessons of good citizenship and responsibilities these bring. Their essential links with the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations, which help administer and support them, are equally strong. None of this would be possible without the Adult Volunteers, whose commitment, leadership and example underpin the development and success of the Cadet Movement. Their reward Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, is to see the cadets change for the better as they are given a Chief of the Defence Staff head-start in life, and as they develop links with the community in which they live.

  • Richard Branson – Virgin’S Versatile Visionary

    Richard Branson – Virgin’S Versatile Visionary

    Intermediate Richard Branson – Virgin’s versatile visionary Branson is the 4th richest citizen of the United Kingdom, according to the Forbes 2011 list of billionaires. His public image shows him a warm, friendly, idealistic, family man. He is also a workaholic who considers himself a tough negotiator in business dealings. Many entrepreneurs make their fortunes by focusing on doing one thing extremely well. However, Branson has used his own basic business model in various fields, making him a highly successful and versatile businessman. He was born in 1950 in London and started his business career with the “Student” magazine aged 16. In 1970 he founded Virgin as a mail order record business, opened a record shop in Oxford Street, London, called Virgin Records. The name "Virgin" indicated that they were all new at business. In 1972 he built a recording studio in Oxfordshire where the first Virgin artist, Mike Oldfield, recorded the 'Tubular Bells' album. In 1977 he signed the Sex Pistols and other bands including Culture Club and the Rolling Stones, helping to make Virgin Records one of the top six record companies in the world. In 1992, to keep his airline company afloat, Branson sold Virgin Records to EMI for £500 million. Branson formed Virgin Atlantic Airways in 1984. Virgin Atlantic uses a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing jets and operates between the United Kingdom and North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia from its bases at Gatwick and Heathrow airports. In 2011 Virgin Atlantic carried 5.3 million passengers, making it the eighth largest UK airline in terms of passenger volume.
