After some bi-service chat in the tea bar about Medals it came to light that some people have been a little overlooked when it comes to the OP Ellamy medal.
In the chat where a :-
Navy Writer who was working in Naples Italy during Ellamy and was awarded the medal
Navy golly who was working around Benghazi during Ellamy and was awarded the medal
RAF Techie who was working at Marham during Ellamy and was awarded the medal
and
2 RAF Techies who write the Mission Data for the Aircraft (Tornado and Chinnook), mission data that accoring to them 'Without the aircraft would not have flown and Ellamy would not have happened'
Should they have gotten a medal? Even some kind of support medal? The DIN is very explicit in the criteria, but working in the AWC doesnt fall into it.
