An RAF pilot who narrowly avoided ploughing into a bus on a runway whilst flying refugees out of Afghanistan has received an honour for his actions.

During Operation Pitting, the UK military's evacuation of civilians out of Kabul last year, Group Captain Kevin Latchman made a split-second decision that saved the lives of more than 377 people after a bus drove into the path of his C-17 aircraft.
