I'd forgotten that the later C-123s also had a pair of J85s fitted.
(Not sure I've ever seen a C-123 flying; convinced I saw one heading into Northolt back in the 1970s while I was playing cricket at school - definitely not a Pembroke - but recently Chevvron made the very plausible suggestion that it was probably a Trader off a nearby carrier.)
Frequently used to get C123s (we referred to them as either 'Providers' or 'Avitrucs') in/out of Bovingdon in the '50s and early '60s.
