If it was the piece on BBC Radio4 this morning, my understanding was that the Hunter came back with an empty gun, intimating that the Hunter shot down the C-130. They also said that the C-130 was heading across the Channel, that the French QRA had been alerted too, which means the unqualified guy flying it did not know his west from his east.
