Happy birthday to the Herky Bird!
Many memories of the mighty Herc / Fat Albert.
From those in RAF service to visiting C130s from other nations.
โ๏ธ #OnThisDay in 1954, the prototype YC 130 Hercules made its first flight.
More than 70 years later, the mighty Herc still serves around the world in airlift, rescue, medical, airborne and humanitarian roles.
One aircraft. More than 60 nations. An extraordinary legacy.
#C130
ALT YC130 Hercules - pre "nose job" (adding the radar dome).
๐ Born #OnThisDay in 1921, Gene Roddenberry flew more than 80 combat missions and sorties with the US Army Air Forces in the Pacific during WWII, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross.
He later created @StarTrek.
From a B 17 to the USS Enterprise.
#VeteranBirthday #StarTrek
๐ช Born #OnThisDay in 1915, Major Peter Kemp DSO MC served with the Intelligence Corps, 62 Commando and SOE during WWII.
He carried out raids, parachuted into Albania and Poland, gathered intelligence inside Tirana and later served with Force 136 in Asia.
#VeteranBirthday #SOE
๐ง Born #OnThisDay in 1900, philosopher Gilbert Ryle joined the Welsh Guards in 1940 before moving into secret intelligence work.

The @VETERANSCHARITY are currently working on 3000 poppy flowers from sea ๐ shells supported by Redruth School.
They are to be "planted" at a site in Cornwall to remember local hero Rick Rescorla and the victims of 9/11 for the 25th anniversary of the tragedy.
The shell factory at The Veterans Halt had a timely visitor today.
The team are cleaning and drying hundreds more scallop shells to turn into poppies the Rick Rescorla 9/11 tribute, when the @GWRHelp poppy train checked in on our progress!
