To mark 25 years of honorary aviation chaplaincy, the Honourable Company of Air Pilots, presented an international award to Howick’s Rev Dr Richard Waugh at a special dinner at RNZAF Base Whenuapai on Saturday.
A Livery Company of the City of London with King Charles III as patron, Waugh was awarded the Company’s ‘The Sir Alan Cobham Memorial Award’.
Unable to be present at the livery dinner in London on October 26, the Master of Air Pilots, Captain Jonathan Legat was visiting from the UK and made a New Zealand presentation to Waugh last weekend.
The award was a tribute to Waugh ‘s chaplaincy ministry work to many people in the aviation industry and initiating the Erebus National Memorial project.
