RFA Trophy’s and Awards

RFA Historical is proud to list the many Trophy’s and Awards that the RFA Service, or individual ships have won or been presented with over the years of its existence.

The majority of these prestigious awards have been made to ships that have excelled in one area or other thereby showing that the RFA is a front line service with truly professional seamen within its ranks.

Some of the awards were won by individual seamen for outstanding performance, some for sporting achievement and one, the Beira Bucket that was awarded for sporting prowess in unusual circumstances.

Details will be added as material for this part of the site becomes available
