Captain Peter Turner of Executive Aviation Services has been honoured with a Master Air Pilot award from the Guild of Air Pilots and Navigators.

It coincided with Turner's 50th anniversary of flying in June this year. The team at Executive Aviation Services celebrated this alongside Gloucestershire Airport's 75th anniversary at a charity 1940s Hangar Party in July in aid of Help for Heroes, Air Ambulance and the Jet Age Museum.

The guild presents certificates to a pilot or navigator who has displayed, over a number of years, qualities of pilotage, air navigation, airmanship and character that have brought honour and respect to the profession.

Turner is managing director and chief pilot at the Gloucestershire airport-based Executive Aviation Services that now operates a King Air 350, Citation Bravo, Citation Excel and King Air 200.
