Last week, RAF Cranwell hosted Chief of the Air Staff’s Commendation Award Ceremony.
. This event brought together 19 recipients of a 4* Commendation, and WO Flora, who received the 3rd clasp to his Long Service Good Conduct Medal, in recognition and celebration of their achievements.
Each recipient was presented their award by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Smith, before observing a highly impressive RAF College Marching Band performance, culminating in a flypast by two German Air Force Typhoons.
The event concluded with an afternoon tea, making it a truly memorable experience for all involved.
The Chief of the Air Staff reflected,
Being back at Cranwell, the esteemed training ground where RAF officers are shaped to the highest standards, was especially meaningful. This unit plays a vital role in maintaining the UK’s first line of defence, ensuring our armed forces remain ready and resilient.
