Coff, RAF Bloodhound Mk 2's were shifted on C-130 on a very regular between 1970 and 1983 seeing that no missile servicing facilities were located in West Germany. The majority of the moves to and from the far east were most likely getting them back for 4th line modifications and return. Missiles coming back to be fired at Aberporth and the final withdraw of equipment in 1968-70. The problem with that model is the missile is a Mk 1 and that was withdrawn from service by the RAF before the Herc was in service. However making a diorama of out of the old airfix Herc kit with the Bloodhound Mk1 loaded can be done if you paint the Herc in early RAAF Markings. The RAAF did move their Mk 1 missiles on the loading trolley in their C-130s between 30 Sqn's main base at Williamtown and a missile det at Darwin (I've got photos of them doing it somwwhere).
