That’s excellent work

Western Australian Governor Lieutenant General John Sanderson presents Flying Officer Stuart Jenner with his trophy.

PERSONNEL from No. 25 (City of Perth) Squadron have come together to congratulate a former member who has received a prestigious award.

Former Active Reserve Officer Flying Officer Stuart Jenner was awarded the Governor’s Trophy for Excellence at a reception at Government House in Perth.

The Governor’s Trophy was only reinstated this year and has not been awarded since 1995.

FLGOFF Jenner received the award for his outstanding personal qualities, leadership skills and professional conduct as well as his assistance to the unit outside his principal job.

Commanding Officer of 25SQN Squadron Leader Nick Bricknell paid tribute to FLGOFF Jenner, labelling him a “credit to the squadron”.

“He is a great role model for young people joining the Air Force, he is a real team player and is always willing to give himself to assist others,” SQNLDR Bricknell said.

FLGOFF Jenner recently transferred from the Active Reserve to the Permanent Air Force, becoming a Security Police Officer.

He has, however, started a tradition in his family with both his sister and father applying for places in the Air Force Reserves with 25SQN.

“The Air Force is a great life,” FLGOFF Jenner said.

“Being a Reservist with 25SQN has given me a great start in my Air Force career.
“I have learnt a lot and then had the opportunity to put it all into practice.
“I’d definitely recommend it – it is challenging and exciting.”
