C 130s in the 80's

I have spent many hours reading various posts and opinions on what is considered by the media good to sell newspapers. It's the same with airfix models all jets or WW2 aircraft.

Finding a C130 is much harder. But 40 year embargoes must now be falling away from these men in their flying machines. The versatility and involvement in everything the RAF has surely been the crews of the C130 and I don't tire of hearing about the beautiful roccoco interiors of the 5 star hotels and the immodium for the sorties. Some of these C130 crew were insane and defied gravity in ways even they wouldn't want to repeat. I feel they deserve more recognition and the history of any war or humanitarian crisis is in it's logistics not in one bullet wound or bomb dropped. Appreciate any stories you'd care to reminiscence on. Thanks
