That the Parliament congratulates Morayvia, in Kinloss, on being awarded the Robert Pleming Trophy for Innovation 2026 by Aviation Heritage UK for its restoration of the Westland Whirlwind HAR.10 XJ723; notes that the restored helicopter honours the courage and service of RAF Search and Rescue crews and the lives that they saved; recognises that, from its beginnings in a former primary school, Morayvia has grown into a nationally recognised attraction, having previously been named Aviation Heritage UK Museum of the Year in 2019; commends the volunteers who have given thousands of hours of their time and skill to make aviation history accessible to all and to inspire young people, and wishes Morayvia every success with its future ambitions.
