AN Australian army pilot has been awarded one of Britain's most prestigious military honours for his bravery while under enemy fire in Iraq. Major Scott Watkins, who was recently promoted from captain, was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) yesterday for saving several lives in two incidents in which he acted with "outstanding courage".
He is the first Australian since 1972 to be awarded a DFC, which is the third highest operational gallantry honour in the British forces.
