FMS serial 66-8550 was delivered to the Lyneham Transport Wing on 29 July 1967. It was damaged Cat.1 on 27 August 1999 when it got stuck in mud at a landing zone near Shawbury (UK). But as a good workhorse, the Herc was repaired by Marshalls at Cambridge and returned to service. It is seen here in take-off from the single runway of Kandahar during an Operation Herrick mission. The C1 made its last flight on 18 April 2013 from Brize Norton to St.Athan, was stored and stripped for spares. Then it was sadly scrapped by 2017.
