Subject: Steve Shirley Receives MBE

Date: January 2005

  Steve Shirley receives a MBE! He got this honour due to his services to the RAF Fire Service, in recognition for outstanding contribution as deputy R.E.S.T. commander for south Yorkshire during Op Fresco, for work in the local community and also tireless work for the museum, which, although a private collection, is recognised internationally. For which I feel I speak for everyone when I say congratulations to him for his excellent achievement.
