On 22 May 2018, Sergeant Ed Day was awarded RAF Brize Norton’s Engineer of the Year Award, presented by Wing Commander O’Sullivan, Officer Commanding Engineering and Logistics Wing.
Sergeant Day has been the operational lead for the test, evaluation and embodiment of the A400M Atlas Maintenance Data System (MDS), the A400M’s primary airworthiness data management tool. Working alongside two civilian colleagues in team ‘Brightspark’, Ed has personally corrected new processes, identified and implemented new and improved ways of working.
“I felt very humbled when my line manager told me I had been nominated, and to actually win the Engineer of the Year Award I feel very proud. Without the team working together, we would have not achieved half as much.”

Ed’s passion and drive to ensure changes and progress is made with MDS has been fantastic. Safe, successful and timely implementation of MDS is key to improving airworthiness and efficiency on the A400M fleet.
