Workhorse - E45 - Taking fire in Iraq with Anthony Lock

Royal Australian Air Force C-130s arrived in Doha 11 February 2003 to support Australian, US and Coalition efforts as part of the US-led invasion of Iraq. In this episode of 'Workhorse', Anthony 'Locky' Lock describes his role as a Liaison Officer supporting Australian Special Forces air mobility requirements during the early stages of Operation Falconer and his deployment on Operation Catalyst (mid-2004). In particular, he details his experience as the C-130H aircraft captain during the mission of 27 June 2004 when Joseph Arguelles (a US contractor) was killed by ground fire while being flown as a passenger in A97-012.
