That's a Royal Australian Air Force C130H, not an RAF C130K. Looks like it was filmed in Oz too.

You are right at 0:18 someone says 'Jesus Christ' in a 'Bluey' accent. 5/5 for your powers of observation my man.

@timcollins340 It's a RNZAF C-130 at Whenuapai in Auckland.

Many years ago when I was in 5th Airborne Brigade I think this was called TALO?

Definately not an RAAF C-130H , ours are not gloss painted for one & nor do they have the blue/grey on green
