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

Amazing effort by extraordinary people. Please share this story and support the cause if you can. With my mum recovering from chemotherapy I can say that the work this charity does is essential!

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/

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
