The King’s Volunteer Reserves Medal Association held its Annual Dinner on 24th March at the RAF Club, Piccadilly, London. The KVRM (previously the QVRM) is a tri-service award presented to reservists for exemplary and meritorious service in the conduct of their duties.
This year, the Association welcomed several medal recipients who were dining for the first time including Corporal Jane Jones of 2620 Squadron based at RAF Marham. She was hosted by Group Captain Gary Bunkell (former OC 2620 Squadron) who is treasurer of the Association. They are pictured in front of a painting of the presentation of the Sovereign’s Colour for the Royal Auxiliary Air Force by the late Queen. The Royal Parade which took place in 2010 at RAF Marham also saw 2620 Squadron receiving its first Standard. Both Corporal Jones and Group Captain Bunkell were participants in the 2010 event.
During the evening Warrant Officer Shobha Earl, a QVRM recipient and former Command Warrant Officer for the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, was appointed to the Committee of the KVRM Association.
