Taking a shot Published Jan. 22, 2008 By Tech. Sgt. Kristina Barrett 501st Combat Support Wing Public Affairs RAF ALCONBURY, England -- Maj. Gen Jack Egginton, takes a shot at playing Couronne -- a game similar to billiards -- during a visit to the 423rd Civil Engineer Squadron at RAF Alconbury. The general was visiting the base during a three-day sweep of the 501st Combat Support Wing. The board was built by Michael Gutteridge, a 423rd Civil Engineer Squadron apprentice carpenter, and it took more than 300 hours to build by hand. For his efforts, he received the Sir Henry Royce Medal, awarded to one young engineering or information technology professional who has shown excellence in their work in industry or for the profession.
