Re Easter Island, this is not directly related to MR Nimrod ops but may be of interest (It does mention what is likely to be the 51 Squadron aircraft)

Other C-130s brought a long range military radar, which we installed following British wishes opposite Comodoro Rivadavia. I would like to mention that the C-130s came via Tahiti and Easter Island, because at the time no other South American country would allow over flight of British military airplanes.
