Flight Lieutenant Caroline Paige was the first transgender officer to serve in the UK Armed Forces. Before her transition in 1999, she served in the cold war intercepting Soviet bomber planes, was involved in the Gulf War and Bosnia Conflict, she switched to Battlefield Helicopters in 1992 and flew several operational tours post-transition, Bosnia and Afghanistan, before her retirement from the military in November 2014. Caroline developed an interest in aviation as a teenager and achieved an RAF Flying Scholarship leading to a Private Pilots Licence when she was 17, she joined the Royal Air Force in 1980 and after completing Navigator Training at RAF Finningley she was posted to Phantom F4s in the Air Defence role at RAF Leuchars. Caroline flew 1500 hours on F4s and intercepted 34 Soviet long-range bomber aircraft when on Quick Reaction Alert during the Cold War, she completed tours providing Air Defence in the Falkland Islands. In 1989 she was posted to 63 Squadron RAF Chivenor flying Hawk T Mk1A on the Tactical Weapons Unit as an instructor/training officer for navigators undergoing Fast Jet conversion training and introducing student pilots to two-seat crew operations.

In 1990 she was deployed with just one hours notice to Saudi Arabia, to help set-up and run a tactical air operations centre following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and in the buildup to the Gulf War. After completing her tour at Chivenor she accepted a request for fast jet navigators to re-role to Support Helicopters, to provide fast jet experience of operating a pilot/navigator cockpit on tactical operations. Upon completing helicopter training at RAF Shawbury she was posted to 60 Squadron at RAF Benson flying the Westland Wessex HC2; the following year Caroline completed a Helicopter Tactics Instructor Course, the beginning of a active role in the training and preparation of crews for operational tactical flying. In 1995 she joined a UN Anglo-French Rapid Reaction Force team operating from Kiseljak, where she became responsible for the co-ordination and safe routing of UN helicopter operations within Bosnia, she remained in Bosnia with NATO forces. In 1997 Caroline helped set up the newly created Rotary Wing Operational Evaluation and Training Unit at RAF Benson where she was responsible for the initial operational development and introduction of the new AW101 Merlin HC Mk3 helicopter into RAF service.

In 1998 Caroline accepted she needed to resolve her lifelong battle with her gender identity and after informing the RAF of her need to transition she was accepted in service as a female officer. Eighteen months she was publicly'outed' on the front page of The Sun newspaper. After a short tour at RAF Innsworth on the Recruiting Policy desk, working on the implementation of ethnic minority recruiting policy, she agreed her return to RAF Benson, to join No 28 Squadron ready for its reformation as the first Squadron to receive the Merlin HC Mk3 Battlefield Helicopter. On completion of No.1 Merlin Operational Conversion Course Caroline worked to prepare and develop crew tactical readiness for the Squadron's deployment to Bosnia in 2003, in support of SFOR, for Iraq in 2005. This experience saw her returning to RWOETU where she worked hard to evolve the aircraft platform protection systems and tactical training for crews, helping to improve survivability for crews and troops flying in hostile environments.

Over a five-year period this work was recognised with two Commander Joint Helicopter Command Commendations for'Exceptional Service' with a 3rd Commendation from the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force in the Queen's New Year Honours List of 2012. During this period Caroline completed a further three tours in Iraq, operating Merlin helicopters with 1419 Flt, formed part of an Operational Evaluation team deploying to Afghanistan for the first Merlin deployment in 2009 and again in 2010. In 2011 she completed a further two tours flying in Afghanistan. In her final two years of service she helped RWOETU with the development and running of the European Defence Agency Helicopter Tactics Course, instructed crews on the first two of these courses and advised EDA Project teams on future platform protection requirements for rotary wing aircraft, her final role was to lead an EDA Mentor Team to Portugal in 2014 to train and advise European helicopter crews participating in EXERCISE HOTBLADE 14, a multinational flying exercise involving military helicopters from six European nations.

Caroline served in the RAF for thirty-five years and remained flying in thirty-four of them, she completed seventeen operational tours. Following her transition in early 1999 Caroline was influential in promoting transgender equality and inclusion in the UK Armed Forces, her 2000 public'outing' by The Sun newspaper led to much criticism of the decision to allow her to remain in the military. Critical, though unofficial and unqualified, voices declared transgender people would be a liability if they were allowed to serve with front-line forces. UK Policy now permitted transgender individuals to serve in the military but, whilst the majority of personnel accepted the change in policy few understood what it meant to be transgender or how inclusion could succeed, they needed assurance that it was the correct decision. Caroline realised being a role model bore enormous responsibility. In proving her own worth s

Gale Gordon was an American character actor best remembered as Lucille Ball's longtime television foil—and as cantankerously combustible, tightfisted bank executive Theodore J. Mooney, on Ball's second television situation comedy, The Lucy Show. Gordon appeared in I Love Lucy and had starring roles in Ball's successful third series Here's Lucy and her short-lived fourth and final series Life with Lucy. Gordon was a respected and beloved radio actor, remembered for his role as school principal Osgood Conklin in Our Miss Brooks, starring Eve Arden, in both the 1948–1957 radio series and the 1952–1956 television series, he co-starred as the second Mr. Wilson in Dennis the Menace. Born Charles Thomas Aldrich Jr. in New York City to vaudevillian Charles Thomas Aldrich and his wife, English actress Gloria Gordon, Gale Gordon's first big radio break came via the recurring roles of "Mayor La Trivia" and "Foggy Williams" on Fibber McGee and Molly, before playing Rumson Bullard on the show's successful spinoff, The Great Gildersleeve.

Gordon and his character of Mayor La Trivia left the show during WWII in when Gordon enlisted in the US Coast Guard, where he spent four years. He was the first actor to play the role of Flash Gordon, in the 1935 radio serial The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon, he played Dr. Stevens in Glorious One. From 1937–39, he starred as "The Octopus" in the Speed Gibson adventure series. In 1949, Gordon recorded the pilot for The Halls of Ivy, starring in the program's title role of Dr. Todhunter Hall, the president of Ivy College; the pilot led to a radio series that aired from 1950–52, but Ronald Colman replaced Gordon in the title role. In 1950, Gordon played John Granby in the radio series Granby's Green Acres, which became the basis for the 1960s television series Green Acres. Gordon went on to create the role of pompous principal Osgood Conklin on Our Miss Brooks, carrying the role to television when the show moved there in 1952. In the interim, Gordon turned up as Rudolph Atterbury on My Favorite Husband, which starred Lucille Ball in a precursor to I Love Lucy.

Gordon and Ball had worked together on The Wonder Show, starring Jack Haley, from 1938–39. The two had a long friendship as well as recurring professional partnership. Gordon had a recurring role as fictitious Rexall Drugs sponsor representative Mr. Scott on yet another radio hit, The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show, staying with the role as long as Rexall sponsored the show; when the sponsor changed to RCA, the character switched employers. The acknowledged master of the "slow-burn" temper explosion in character, Gordon was the first pick to play Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy, but he was committed to Our Miss Brooks as well as being a regular on several other radio shows, had to decline the offer, he appeared in two guest shots on the show: twice as Ricky Ricardo's boss, Alvin Littlefield, owner of the Tropicana Club where Ricky's band played, appeared as a judge on an episode of Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.

On The Danny Thomas Show, he guest starred in seven episodes. In five, he played the landlord of the building. In 1962, Gordon appeared as different characters on two episodes of another ABC sitcom, The Donna Reed Show. In 1962, Ball created The Lucy Show and planned to hire Gordon to play Theodore J. Mooney, the banker, first Lucy Carmichael's executor and subsequently her employer, when she went to work in his bank. Gordon was under contract to play John Wilson on Dennis the Menace. Prior to Gordon's replacing Kearns on Dennis the Menace, the two had worked together on an old radio show, The Cinnamon Bear; when Dennis the Menace ended in spring 1963, Gordon joined The Lucy Show as Mr. Mooney for the 1963-64 season.

The somewhat portly Gordon was adept at physical comedy and could do a perfect cartwheel. After the sale of Desilu Studios in 1968, Ball shut down The Lucy Show and retooled it into Here's Lucy and became her own producer and distributor. Gordon returned, this time as her blustery boss Harrison Otis'Uncle Harry' Carter at an employment agency that specialized in unusual jobs for unusual people, it was just a continuation of the Lucy Carmichael/Mr. Mooney with new names and a new setting. Gordon had all but retired from acting when Here's Lucy ended in 1974, but Ball coaxed him out of retirement in 1986 to join her for the short-lived series Life With Lucy. Gordon was the only actor to have co-starred or guest-starred in every weekly series, radio or television, Ball had done since the 1940s, his final acting appearance would be a reprise of Mr. Mooney in the first episode of Hi Honey, I'm Home! in 1991. Beginning in 1949, Gordon and his wife lived in the tiny community of Borrego Springs, California where he owned a ra
