There are 9 pages of interesting info about these missions here;

The problems refuelling a C-130 from a Victor make interesting reading. Each rendezvous was difficult and the refuelling then had to be accomplished in a shallow dive to enable the Hercules to keep up with the Victor. Respect to all those involved.
