Not only is Dickinson fronting one of the biggest Heavy Metal bands of all time and a fully qualified pilot but the man is putting it to good use for turtles all around the world!
Washing up on the Channel Islands in Jersey Terri the turtle was left with a bad infection. A page for crowdfunding the turtle to be sent back to safety was set up as a Spanish sanctuary offered to care for the turtle. A total of $6,000 was raised, which is quite a lot for a turtle!
The kind pilot offered to fly the turtle home and Terri has since ended up in the sanctuary and is being well looked after we are assured. Thank god Bruce Dickinson was there, I would have imagined that Crush from Finding Nemo would have jammed some Maiden…
