Cambridge Airport’s Terry Holloway awarded Air League Quill Medal.

Monday 4th July 2011

Cambridge Airport Deputy Chairman, Terry Holloway, has been awarded the Air League's highly prestigious Jeffrey Quill Medal by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh at a ceremony in St James' Palace. Jeffrey Quill was Supermarine's distinguished Chief Test Pilot during the Second World War, and the Quill Medal is awarded each year in his memory for significant endeavour in the field of encouraging air mindedness.

Terry was awarded the medal at The Air League's Annual Reception and Air League Chairman, Keith Mans, in outlining reasons for the Quill Medal being awarded, said: "Terry Holloway has been a driving force in Aviation for the last 50 years since he learned to fly as an Air Cadet and has been an Air Experience Pilot for both the Air Training Corps and the Girls Venture Corps for well over 40 years." Mr Mans added: "Terry Holloway has also been the driving force behind the Youth in Aviation Initiative started by The Air League ten years ago, which is now gaining National prominence through 'The Leading Edge'."

Terry is currently a key member of the leadership team implementing a new commercial strategy for Cambridge Airport to become a new aviation hub for the East of England focused on business aviation and regional airline opportunities. The role reflects his continued commitment to aviation and supports the recent award decision.

Terry Holloway said: "It is an enormous honour to have been awarded this medal. I was delighted that my family were able to be present at St James' Palace to see me receive the wonderful award from Prince Philip. I look forward to supporting The Air League and its initiatives in the field of aviation for a number of years to come."

Cambridge Airport boasts a 24/7 operational capability with no slot restrictions and full Category 7 fire & ATC status as well as a stylish new FBO and increased hangarage capacity. Last month Cambridge entered a strategic partnership with Ireland based Pilot Training College to set up a new professional flight training academy, Pilot Training College (Cambridge), marking the return of professional pilot training to Cambridge.

The Air League was founded in 1909 in order to promote the interests of British Aviation. It has been supporting major developments in aerospace for over 102 years and continues to lobby and ensure that Great Britain continues to match the World in this key technology.

The Air League founded the Air Training Corps, which celebrates its 70th Anniversary in 2011, and each year over 150 flying and engineering scholarships are awarded to young people in order to encourage their careers in aviation. His Royal Highness Prince Philip The Duke of Edinburgh has been patron of The Air League for the last 54 years.
