"Nancy Wells Award" Nancy [b1927 - d2019] (and husband Ray) was a committed supporter of women in aviation to help them achieve their goals; she joined the 99s in 1949 (before Australia had a Charter), flew their own Bonanza, hosted many guests and events at their Sydney home and donated a quilt to the Australian Section for fundraising. In 1984 the Australian Women Pilots' Association (AWPA) honoured her with the Nancy Bird Trophy for " the most noteworthy contribution to aviation by a woman in Australasia". Support was also garnered by funding and initiating the Nancy Wells Award in 1995.
