Remember it well, was actually in a couple of episodes that were filmed in Akrotiri. Was a dead body in one, which goes to show the quality of my acting skills. Was also on board the C130 for a lot of the flying scenes. If memory serve the late, great, Chas Finn-Kelcey was the captain for those scenes. The filming was a welcome distraction from the boredom as all traffic was going south West at the time due the Falklands War. This also explains the lack of variety of a/c in the series. MOD had given it's full backing, and any a/c required but then recanted at the last moment and sent those a/c south.
