Congratulations QD......
« on: December 30, 2012, 12:24:58 am »
Our very own QD..... long term member on here has been honoured for his services to the Royal Navy..

WO1 (Air Engineering Technician) David Alun Rowlands is now......

WO1 (Air Engineering Technician) David Alun Rowlands MBE

He'll no doubt be pissed at me for shouting about it but somebody has to.....

Dave's been in the Navy since they were broadsiding the Spanish, his diligence, organisational skills and technical know how have kept countless people very safe in Queenies helicopters, pilots and pax alike in some very unforgiving parts of the world for extended periods on many occasions.

So congratulations Dave..I'm really chuffed for you couldn't have happened to a more deserving nicer bloke

Not forgetting all of the guys off here that are away from home and loved ones at this time of year, its nice to see a regular off here (well not so regular after being tempted by some french clutter) get some recognition.

Congrats dude. Hope someone takes pics of him receiving the award.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
