Nigel Flower Receives Mervyn David Award

Nigel Flower, long standing ASIS committe member and Membership Secretary, received the Mervyn David Award at the Chapter AGM and Winter Seminar today.

Nigel says:

"I was, as you will have noticed today, very surprised but proud and privileged to join such an august group of fellow recipients of the beautiful silver salver given in memory of the late Air Commodore Mervyn David.

Mervyn was an excellent Chairman of the Chapter, its first President and a fine example to us all of how a member should conduct himself and I am very proud to have served under him.

This award remembers his work for the Chapter, the Society and security in general ( he had been of course been Head of RAF Security and at Shell) and I am deeply moved and grateful to have been recognised in this way by the members of Chapter 208. It was also a very nice touch that Peter French, last year's recipient was on hand to present it to me."
