This officer has performed his duties as wing engineer officer with commendable ability and efficiency. He has displayed considerable powers of leadership and the hard work of which he has proved himself capable has inspired his subordinates to maintain a high standard of aircraft serviceability, frequently despite difficulties. In addition to his duties as wing engineer officer, Flight Lieutenant Morison has for several months supervised the mechanical transport of the wing with highly creditable results."

Citation for the award of Member of the Order of the British Empire
"MORISON, Richard Trevor, F/L (82419, RAFVR) - No.205 Group
This officer has been Wing Engineer Officer since January 1942. During a period of 20 months he has taken no leave but has cheerfully carried on through the difficulties encountered by the Wing in various advances, retreats and reformations. Flight Lieutenant Morison has an exceptional capacity for hard work and fine ability as an Engineer Officer. At a time when all the aircraft in the Wing had Merlin engines, which gave much trouble, his efforts were largely responsible for keeping the squadrons in the air. He has worked to maintain the squadrons’ operational effort."
