  • Air Marshal Sir Timothy Michael Anderson KCB DSO (born 2 February 1957) is a senior Royal Air Force officer, currently serving as the first Director-General of the UK Military Aviation Authority (MAA), following an appointment as Assistant Chief of the Air Staff. Previously he was a fast jet pilot, primarily flying the Tornado Ground Attack aircraft, and as Officer Commanding 14 Squadron led the UK Tornado commitment to Operation Allied Force, the air campaign over Kosovo in 1999, for which he was admitted to the Distinguished Service Order. He was appointed to his current position in April 2010 to set up the MAA, which was in response to the Haddon-Cave Review into the issues surrounding the loss of an RAF Nimrod over Afghanistan in September 2006. He was knighted in the 2013 New Year Honours List and is due to relinquish his appointment in April 2013.
