#OnThisDay in 1953 : During operational practice flights in #Malaya, a #BristolSycamore helicopter was used to evacuate a wounded 22 SAS soldier. He was flown to a hospital in Kuala Lumpur. Around a hundred Sycamores were ordered by the RAF and many used in the Malayan Emergency.

Avro Lincoln, RAF Museum. Seen at #Cosford, this is the only example of the Lincoln in the U.K. The Lincoln was a wartime development of the classic Avro Lancaster bomber; indeed, the prototype fist flew as the Lancaster IV, jus, butt 3 days after D-Day on 9th June, 1944. It was too late to see operational service in the Second World War, but saw action in conflicts in Kenya and Malaya. Some Lincolns were built in Australia and one example was completed in Canada. #aviation #aircraft #SecondWorldWar #WW2 Avro #Lincoln #bomber #UK #Australia #Canada #Kenya #Malaya #1944 #RAF #Museum #Lancaster

#OTD Henry Nicholas Ridley, #English #Botanist, #Geologist, & #Naturalist, is born.
The first Director of the #Singapore #BotanicGarden, Henry single-handedly pioneered Malaya's #Rubber industry. He encouraged #Farmers to #Plant rubber #Trees & devised #Ingenious ways to #Tap for #Latex without harming the #Tree.

And to think it all started with #Seeds Henry collected from 22 #Plants...
