C130. Can't give exact dates and time (lost log) but seem to remember 14+ hours from some little island in the Caribbean back to Lyneham. Watched the sun go down and then come up again. Also have a Kai-Tak - Gan of 11.10, having to stay over the sea, some fracas over the land.
Quite likely to have been Nassau as we recovered to Lyneham on 23 Dec 75 and landed 24 Dec. It swept up the end of that particular slip. That is also an unrefuelled flight (in the days before AAR on the C130).
