At that moment they were using air refuling in the C-130s???
There was no airbridge to the islands - the Argentinians weren't too keen on us landing at the time! But there were supply flights from Ascension to the Task Force and certain other units throughout the conflict. Some of these used AAR, and some of the aircraft also had extra fuel tanks in the fuselage (Hercules C1PLR2).
