Some of us were down at the RAF Club in Piccadilly yesterday evening at the annual Royal Aero Club Awards Ceremony, where two BAeA members picked up some much appreciated awards from Prince Andrew.
David Cowden was presented with a Royal Aero Club Certificate of Appreciation for his hard work and not inconsiderable success operating the British Aerobatics Foundation in support of a good number of talented newcomers t the aerobatic scene, and some solid financial support over the years to Advanced and Unlimited Team pilots.
Jen Buckenham’s tireless work as Membership Secretary, Contest Registrar, Scoring Director, Contest Finance Manager and each season’s Calendar Organiser was at last recognised with a Royal Aero Club Certificate of Merit.
Prince Andrew is Patron of the Royal Aero Club, and was extremely positive in his congratulatory remarks to our two stars and the other 40 or so worthy recipients.
