Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia

FAAAA Medallions Presented

5 July 2006

The Fleet Air Arm Association is continuing its annual award of medallions to the officers and sailors of the Fleet Air Arm who achieve the highest marks in their technical training.

The awards were first presented in 2003 and have been awarded each year since then. The three categories which are recognised are:

• the air engineering course;
• the advanced technical training course; and
• basic aircrewman course.

At a ceremony at Nowra, the FAAAA National President, Cdre David Farthing DSC RAN (Rtd), has presented this year's awards to:

• LEUT Christopher John Clyde;
• CPOATV Matthew John Hyam; and
• LSA Bradley John Mills.

He congratulated the recipients on achieving standards of excellence and reminded the assembled group of personnel from the squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm's long tradition of excellence.
