HERC YEAH! Our new film about the extraordinary Lockheed C-130H Hercules is now in the works.
And we’d like to say a huge thank you to No. 40 Squadron for hosting us at Whenuapai, taking part in the filming and for providing NZ7002 as the perfect cinematic backdrop last week.
Also on our thank you list is retired Wing Commander Gordon Ragg, one of the young pilots who flew NZ7003 on its delivery flight in 1965.
Gordon generously gave us his time to recount his memories of what it was like to fly the brand-new Hercules all those years ago, and what a contrast it was to the piston-engined Hastings and DC-6s.
The last of the fleet of C-130Hs is due to retire in January, having served the RNZAF for almost six decades.
From Antarctica to Afghanistan the Hercs have done it all, and we can’t wait to tell their story with documentary maker Belmont Productions.
We will be putting together an exhibiton to go with the film, similar to the one we have running currently to pay tribute to our other extraordinary aircraft – the P-3K2 Orion.
In case you haven’t already seen it here’s the Orion story – https://youtu.be/IFzp9YtA-2Y – and we look forward to doing the same for the Herc.
