F/L David Hornell VC Memorial Trophy

Originally introduced in 1952, as the "RCAF Association Trophy" the F/L David Hornell VC Memorial Trophy was annually awarded to the top Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Canada, as judged by the Air Cadet League of Canada. The last such award, in 1982, went to 650 Vanier Squadron, Moncton, N.B. The trophy was then "retired" until 1991 when it was resurrected to be presented, by the Commander or Deputy Commander of Air Command to the top RCAC drill squadron at the Senior Leaders Course each summer at 4 Wing, Cold Lake, AB. Should it be convenient, a member of the National Executive Council of the Air Force Association may be called upon to present the trophy. Newly refurbished, the Trophy is now maintained at 1 Canadian Air Division Command HQ.
