Number 614 Squadron have been recognised for outstanding performance and teamwork in two separate awards.
Welsh Auxiliary squadron, No. 614 (County of Glamorgan) Squadron, Royal Auxiliary Air Force, parented by RAF Brize Norton, were awarded the Clyde Trophy. This is given annually to the Royal Auxiliary Air Force unit judged to have had the highest performance in media and public relations during the year.
614 Squadron showed a high level of reporting and media activity during 2024, with media coverage including numerous appearances on BBC and ITV Wales, print and online media, and on RAF channels.
We’re extremely proud to have been awarded this trophy that recognises the superb efforts by our Media Flight in reflecting the fantastic work Squadron officers and aviators have done supporting the RAF in the UK and overseas during this special RAuxAF centenary year.

Following their award of the Clyde Trophy, 614 Squadron’s Media Flight were also awarded the Howard Leader Trophy for Exceptional Teamwork and high quality of work.
The prize recognised the fine work done by Flight Lieutenant Wade, Sergeant Sharples and Corporal Harris for media activity on the 100th anniversary of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force. The award acknowledged the hard work that went into organising and staging the exhibition at the Welsh Parliament, widespread media coverage and the publication of Flight Lieutenant Wades' ‘On Dragons’ Wings’ - the first published history of No. 614 Squadron.
It was wonderful to win one trophy but to get two within the space of a week is phenomenal. I’m extremely proud of the fantastic work done by our Media Flight and recognition of their efforts in this award is richly deserved.

Executive Officer, No 614 Squadron
