Chile C130

Taken a few weeks away from t' interweb and PPRuNe but been reading Richard Hutchings book about his Falklands story whilst away.

He describes his flight out of Punta Arenas to Santiago as being on a RAF C130 with Chilean markings. I have not been able to find further references to this. I would have thought at the time we needed all the C130s we could lay our hands on and did not have any up for disposal.

I do recall after the conflict was over seeing the PR9s at Wyton with Chilean stars ready to go. In those days things were very hush hush it appears after 30 years other stories are emerging.

Does anybody know more about this 130?
