Today (3 Oct) marks 50 years of RAF service by the ever sprightly Derek Oldham of C130K and J fame. Derek is still dispensing his wisdom in the C130J sim as a member of 622 Sqn, the Reserve aircrew squadron at Brize Norton.
Derek will also be flying a C130J sortie on Wednesday 5 Oct and will be met by the Stn Cdr and Execs, many of whom he has taught over the years.
Congrats Derek - here's to the next 50!
