Hercules Thames Challenge for @BreastCancer_UK ✅- We will clear £12000 but donations still coming in. Over 130 miles on Pedalos through torrential rain, blazing sun, wet camp sites and a broken wagon. Incredible week with the best team. @AirMobilityRAF @StnCdrBZN @CdrAirWgAMF

Great to see #TeamHerc out on the river raising money for a fantastic cause. If you can spare a quid or two, the team would be hugely grateful.
Day two comes to a close… The Pedalliers continue on, and despite a hat retrieval operation stopping play for moments few, all is going to plan @C130JimRoden @BreastCancer_UK Donate : justgiving.com/team/teamherc… #TeamHerc

Hercules C-130 a thread 🧵 In 2009 I was living in Germany. My then husband was a serviceman. Late one Friday I had a phone call to say my mum who had dementia was not going to live much longer. The military have systems for getting their service personnel and families home 1/ – at East, England

NEW: Two former @RoyalAirForce chiefs & other top commanders condemn “perverse” “extraordinary” cost-cutting decision to ditch UK fleet of C-130 aircraft - vital for flying troops, evacuating civilians & supporting special forces operations. Here is their letter in @thetimes ⬇️

Well done the heli’s and @rafredarrows for today’s Coronation flypast. A pity for the rest that were scuppered by the poor weather. Thanks to 47Sqn for allowing me to fly with them today. Shame we didn’t get down the Mall but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. @RoyalAirForce
