Operation Christmas Drop Operation " Christmas Drop " is a tradition that serves as a training mission for the United States Air Force which started in 1952 . It has since become the longest running United States Department of Defense mission in full operation , and the longest running humanitarian airlift in the world . Supported by the local communities of Guam , it is primarily conducted from Andersen Air Force Base and Yokota Air Base . History . The operation was first conducted in 1952 . Then , the aircrew of a WB - 29 aircraft assigned to the 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron , formerly assigned to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam , was flying a mission to the south of Guam over the Micronesian atoll of Kapingamarangi . When they saw the islanders waving to them , the crew quickly gathered some items they had on the plane , placed them in a container with a parachute attached and dropped the cargo as they circled again . A witness to the first drop on the island of Agrigan said " We saw these things come out of the back of the airplane and I was yelling : ' There are toys coming down ' " . At the time the island had no electricity or running water , and the islands were periodically hit by typhoons . Some of the first containers failed to arrive where intended , and islanders swam out to retrieve some , while others were discovered months later some miles away . Today this unique Christmas tradition is continued with the donations from the residents and businesses of Guam . Each box dropped from a C - 130 aircraft weighs nearly 400 pounds and contains items such as fishing nets , construction materials , powdered milk , canned goods , rice , coolers , clothing , shoes , toys and school supplies . It is the oldest ongoing Department of Defense mission which remains in full operation , and the longest running humanitarian airlift in the world . By 2006 , more than of supplies was delivered . The operation gives troops the chance to practice humanitarian aid drops , as the troops will later be expected to conduct drops over Iraq or Afghanistan after deployment . Volunteers from Andersen Air Force Base , including 734th Air Mobility Squadron , and both crew and aircraft from the 36th Airlift Squadron at Yokota Air Base , Japan , participate in the operation . Members of the Guam community also help the operation . Money is raised for the operation by sponsored activities such as golf tournaments and sponsored runs , as well as local businesses sponsoring individual boxes . The 2006 operation saw 140 boxes dropped to 59 islands . The 2011 operation included dropping twenty five boxes of IV fluid s to Fais Island in order to combat a local outbreak of dengue fever . The containers are dropped in water just off the beaches in order to avoid them hitting any of the locals .
HNLMS Sumatra ( 1890 ) The Dutch cruiser HNLMS Sumatra was a small protected cruiser with a heavy main gun . The ship was named after the island of Sumatra in the Dutch East Indies ( now Indonesia ) . The design resembled a smaller version of the " Esmeralda " concept ( the 1883 protected cruiser built by Armstrong / Elswick shipyards for Chile ) and is most similar in size to the Chinese protected cruiser " Chi Yuan " ( 1883 ) a ship built at about the same time as the " Esmeralda " . The " Sumatra " had the 8 . 2in . gun forward and the 5 . 9 in . gun aft , both in shields , with sponsons on the sides for the two 4 . 7in . guns . The Dutch Navy also built a larger protected cruiser with even heavier armament , the " Koningen Wilhelmina der Nederlanden " launched in 1892 , which had an 11 - in . gun forward and was most comparable to the Japanese protected cruisers of the " Matsushima " type . These ships represented a design philosophy in which navies that could not afford first class battleships ( including the Netherlands ) mounted heavy weapons on coast defense ships or moderately - sized protected cruisers with the idea these ships would pose a threat to first - class opponents .

Drum Castle Drum Castle is a castle near Drumoak in Aberdeenshire , Scotland . For centuries it was the seat of the chief of Clan Irvine . The place - name Drum is derived from Gaelic " druim " , ' ridge ' . The original 13th - century tower of Drum Castle has been suggested as the work of medieval architect Richard Cementarius , who built the Bridge of Don in Old Aberdeen . It is believed to be one of the three oldest tower house s in Scotland ( and notably unaltered ) . A large wing was added in 1619 by the 9th laird , and further alterations were made during the Victorian era . The castle and its grounds were granted to William de Irwyn in 1325 by Robert the Bruce , and remained in the possession of Clan Irvine until 1975 . William de Irwyn ( of the Irvings of Bonshaw clan ) was armour bearer / secretary ( and neighbor ) to King Robert the Bruce . Drum played a role in the Covenanting Rebellion ( as did nearby Muchalls Castle ) leading to its being attacked and sacked three times . The castle is surrounded by late 18th - century gardens , including a rose garden and arboretum containing trees from all regions of the 18th century British Empire . Today , the castle is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and is open during the summer months . The chapel , dining hall and estate may be hired for weddings and corporate functions . A variety of local events such as classic car rallies and musical fetes also occur here . There is also a small shop and tearoom within the castle . Area ancient history . Prehistoric habitation of the local area is known through archaeological sites such as Balbridie . Roman legion s marched from Raedykes to nearby Normandykes as they sought higher ground evading the bog s of Red Moss and other low - lying mosses associated with the Burn of Muchalls . That march used the Elsick Mounth , one of the ancient trackway s crossing the Grampian Mountains ; the situation of the Elsick Mounth terminating at a ford to the River Dee is thought to have been instrumental in the strategic siting of Drum Castle as a point to monitor traffic on the Elsick Mounth lying west of Netherley .

Bítov Castle Bítov Castle ( ) is a castle located on a steep promotory towering above the meandering River Želetavka , near the Vranov reservoir , in the village of Bítov , some 25 km northwest of Znojmo , Czech Republic . Built in the 11th century , Bítov is one of the oldest and largest Moravian castles . A Přemyslid fortified settlement originally stood on the site and included the Chapel of Our Lady ( " Kostelík Panny Marie " ) . The fort was rebuilt in the first half of the 13th century as an impregnable Gothic castle guarding the southern boundaries of the Přemyslid lands . In the 14th century a new inner ward was built along with Late Gothic fortifications . The Lords of Bítov became the new owners of the castle and based themselves here for four centuries . They carried out further improvements to the defensive capabilities of the castle . Bítov finally underwent Baroque remodelling , and gained its present form at the beginning of the 19th century , when it passed into the hands of the Counts of Daun . The descendants of Marshal Daun , the famous military leader , rebuilt the castle in the spirit of the Romantic style . Between 1811 and 1845 the richly - decorated state rooms were created , on the basis of proposals of Anton Schuler . The culmination of the re - Gothicising work was the remodelling of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin ( " kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie " ) by Viennense architect Anton Rucker , who left the original Gothic furnishings . At the end of the 20th century , Bítov underwent extensive refurbishment . The structural arrangement of the castle through remodelling , which was carried out several times later on , is an example of the Czech Early Gothic castle architecture . The arrangement is highly intricate and leads in one direction towards the front moat , to which both the wedge - shaped round towers pointed . The outer tower , above the moat , was later merged with the body of the castle , while the other tower stands alone at the rear of the inner court .
