CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION CAPTAIN DAVE NICHOLLS In September 2019, long-standing HIOWAA pilot, Capt. Dave Nicholls, was awarded the prestigious HIOWAA Certificate of Appreciation. Dave started flying with the Charity in October 2015, following a 22-year career in the Army, where he worked on both aeroplanes and helicopters, serving as far afield as the Arctic and the Equator. Dave was nominated for the Certificate of Appreciation by members of the Communications and Fundraising Teams, for the drive and effort that he displays in supporting charity initiatives and in helping to achieve the Charity’s vision. The Charity staff who nominated him said: “Dave always goes out of his way to help us to spread the word about our life-saving work and no request for advice, support or input is ever too much for him. Dave is an ambassador for the Charity when on duty and was instrumental in the development of the Mission Planning section of our LifeLines website. He has also given up his time on numerous occasions to deliver the workshops to hundreds of schoolchildren.”
