EAAA founder awarded the Sword of Honour

On the 25th October, one of EAAA's founding members Gerry Hermer, received this year's Sword of Honour from the Honourable Company of Air Pilots. Gerry was instrumental in the initial set up of East Anglian Air Ambulance, but his dedication to the whole aviation industry spans more than five decades.

Gerry originally worked as an Engineering Officer in the Royal Air Force before training as a Search and Rescue pilot. He flew the Wessex and the Sea King and also qualified as an instructor on Gazelles. He was awarded the Air Force Cross in 1977 for rescuing the crew of a sinking German ship over 70 miles off Flamborough Head. After his distinguished military career Gerry established two successful aviation businesses based in Norwich.
