The Ohakea Unit History, October 1986, reads "A small ceremony was held in the Warrant Officers and Senior Non Commissioned Officers Mess on 15 October to present Mr Cyril Kent (recipient of the George Medal) with his newly refurbished medals. Mr Kent's medals were at first thought lost after a fire in his home in Tangimoana, but two firemen from Base, after an extensive search through the rubble, found the medals and they were sent to Wellington for refurbishing and mounting." These medals are now held in the Air Force Museum collection.
