"In February 1979, RAF VC10s and C-130s flew 650 men, women and children out of Iran in four days - moving the Daily Express to comment: "RAF ... the airline you can trust.""
As a point of order 4 x C-130's landed in Teheran on 31 Jan '79 evacuating some 500 persons between them to Bahrain. The 10's went in later.
