The full recommendation for the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross Remains closed, however a brief citation was published on the 23rd September 2013.#11;Flight Lieutenant Timothy Edward Trott Royal Air Force Immediate Response Team Aircraft Commander Afghanistan, 25 Mar 13. #11;When a Patrol Base (PB) came under a complex attack by insurgents using a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED), Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG) and automatic weapons, Flight Lieutenant Trott’s crew and the Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) were launched in response. Arriving near the PB with the firefight still raging and aware of the continued threat of insurgent fire against his vulnerable Chinook, Trott cleared his intentions to land at the PB with the Apache Air Mission Commander. Although the Apache provided covering fire, Trott was forced to break off his first approach due to the sheer weight of enemy fire aimed at his aircraft. Landing on his second attempt which was once again subjected to sustained enemy small arms fire, Trott and his crew held their nerve as the casualties were loaded and as a RPG exploded against the Hesco wall 20 metres way. Reassuring his crew, Trott informed them of his departure profile and briefed them on the suppressive fire they were to employ as they lifted. As he climbed away from the base, the aircraft presented an easy target for the continuing enemy fire but Trott initially stayed low in order to minimise the risk of being hit, conscious of the medics delivering life-saving treatment just behind him. Trott then executed a rapid climb away from the threat band to deliver the casualties to Camp Bastion hospital within 40 minutes of the attack, before turning the aircraft to re-enter the fray in order to collect further casualties and remarkably sustained no damage to the aircraft. #11;Flight Lieutenant Timothy Edward Trott DFC, military career began when he enlisted into the Grenadier Guards in August 1984, serving with Waterloo Company. After a tour in Northern Ireland he applied for attachment to the Army Air Corps, being selected for pilot training which began on the 27th November 1989. Qualifying as a Gazelle Helicopter pilot at the outbreak of the 1st Gulf War, he was serving with 3 Regiment AAC and was despatched to the Gulf and his log book records operations. In January 1993 he formally transferred to the Army Air Corps and from January to June 1996 served with 7 Regiment AAC operating the Gazelle in Bosnia. The log again records a large number of operational flying. In 1999 and 2000 he was selected for the British Army Helicopter competitions and in 2003 was selected for the Apache Attack Helicopter program taking his first flight on the 1st October 2003. One of his flying instructors being Captain Darren “Tom” O’Malley DFC, who Bosleys had the privilege of selling his DFC in 2014. Now Warrant Officer “Tim” Trott qualified as a Apache Attack Helicopter Pilot in March 2004. He was posted to 673 Squadron. In April 2005 he was discharged for a Commission in the Army Air Corps and continued to fly the Apache and qualified as a flying instructor. His last flight in the Apache occurred on the 4th February 2010. He transferred to the Royal Air Force being commissioned and took his first flight in a Chinook Helicopter as second pilot on the 2nd June 2010. Qualifying on the type he was posted to 18 Squadron and in November of that year to 27 Squadron. In September 2012 he was deployed to Afghanistan on Operation Herrick as part of the Joint Helicopter Force. 1310 Flight of 27 Squadron had been deployed in Afghanistan from 2006. At the time Tim arrived the Flight was based at Camp Bastion. The units main tasks were resupplying isolated patrol bases, carrying troops into highly dangerous landing sites on deliberate operations, around Helmand Province and beyond. It was also their duty to operate the Immediate Response Team Helicopters, which carried the Medical Emergency Response Team, often landing during fire fights to evacuate casualties, it was on one such operation Tim was tasked on the 13th March 2013 in Chinook 27679. The operation that resulted in the award of the DFC took 2 hours 10 minutes and the citation not only demonstrates Tim's personal courage and command ability but the courage of all who flew in “XZ 679” that day. Tim returned to the UK in April 2013 and his log records his last RAF flight at 8 Air Experience Flight RAF Cosford on the 10th November 2014. Resigning his commission in the RAF, Tim continues his flying career as a Helicopter Flying Instructor.
