Mike received the commendation for his time as a Flight Lieutenant navigator with the Rotary Wing Operational Evaluation and Training Unit at RAF Benson, where he displayed outstanding dedication and attention to detail in his role developing helicopter systems that have protected UK Service personnel flying on operations for the last decade. With experience of flying in both Iraq and Afghanistan, he carried this experience in to developing Defensive Aid Suites on Chinook and Puma in response to ever-changing threats.
