The variance in serial 3105 A97-205 was in the exits and hatch luminus markers were not fitted by lockheed.

The RAAF did obtain permission from the atomic enegery guys for it to be done.

Apparantly the airforce guy who made the decision for them not to be retrofitted
had never been in a C130 in darkness.

The Roman nose was only fitted to the first 14 A models build and most where changed when the APN 59 radar became available.
