I've been watching some clips from a UK documentary that came out around '87 I think, it was called 'Malvinas: The Untold Story' - do any of the Brit (or Argentine) members on here happen to know the soldier talking? By the way, I found this a hard, but compelling video to watch - the man...

Seriously Ken, don't lose hope yet with the post - I think the link to Argentina is a tad slow in general - I ordered something from there last year and it took 4-5 weeks. Hopefully in this case that is all that is happening in reverse.

Hello everyone, since things have gone a bit quiet on here, I was wondering if we could hear some more from any Mt. Longdon veterans out there? Would anyone care to share their memories from this battle? Regards to all, Steve ---- Hola a todos, ya que las cosas estan un poco...

Very interesting. What is the status of the Super Etendards today? Traducción: Muy interesante. ¿Cuál es la situación de la Super Etendards hoy?

Brilliant ingenuity by the crews, what a story. When there is a will, sometimes there is a way. Too bad for the Argentine effort that the Trackers didn't play a bigger role or there were more such improvised RWR sets. I wonder, did a general call for more/improved RWR follow in the...

Basically this means they were flying blind into danger...hence the immense respect I have for all FAA crews (not that UK crews weren't also in danger). But in particular, this is why the operations of the Grupo 2 de Bombardeo really interest me. They were flying vintage jet-era bombers, even...

That is quite sadly ironic as you say, Ken. I wonder how the BACO flight would have fared unescorted. I'm assuming you would have picked up the Canberras on radar regardless though given their large radar signature? Excuse the ignorance here, but are fighters like the Mirage equipped with...

Sin duda, es muy interesante, Eagle. If anyone ever had these photos, that would be priceless. I remember reading somewhere that some members of the British press may have been present in Chile during this time, but there were no photos ever circulated that I know of. I'll see if I can find...

Indeed, I have often wondered about the incident. All I know is what I read on Wikipedia about it being approached by a 826 Sqn Sea King, which was then fired on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARA_Alferez_Sobral I would love to hear from the Sea King crew as to their version of it, and...

Thanks for the confirmation. That may well be common knowledge, but it continues to be 'classified' over here for obvious reasons.

Interesting subject this. Also confirms the rumours you hear that some of our PR.9 Canberras were down operating from Chile (almost certain in Chilean colours) well before April, gathering intel. So if plans were being made in late Jan, with leave recall warnings in March, you can bet that...

Interesting subject, Juanma. I am British, born in 1979, and remember the Malvinas mainly because my mother is Argentine and was of course very interested to follow the conflict from her home in England. I am also very interested in military history, so naturally this is a subject I want to...

Hello again to all, it's been a while since I checked in, but have just finished reading through all the lastest posts with much interest. Reading about flights over the Belgrano wreck zone made me wonder about another topic - the ARA Alfarez Sobral incident. Is there anyone on here who was...

I should think it was freezing! Did you have much luck in finding the munitions, Ken? How long was each 'shift' and I'm assuming you had to wear dry suits? Forgive my ignorance.

Yes, I was asking about it earlier and would very much like to see these photos. Si, me pregunto de esta tema, y me gustaria mucho a ver estas fotos. Steve

Well, it seems to be B-108, and Capt. Juan Nogueira was the pilot. Dubroca is listed as flying with Captain Eduardo Rodino that day, but I am not sure of his aircraft number; it was either B-105 or B-109. If he says he was in B-108, I am going to retire from research immediately!! Buena...

I talked to Marcelo Siri about this incident last night, and he swears to me that Nogueira was actually flying B-108, not B-102 or B-105 as some sources (including the Nunez Padin book) state. So, it would appear there was some confusion in this reporting, and as you all guessed, this is the...

Good work, Thunder! That link is from my own web site, which shows how much I know! (it's been a long day). At least respects can properly be paid now. Bien trabajo, Thunder! Ese link es de mi propia página web, lo que demuestra lo pocito que yo se! (que ha sido un largo día). Ahora...

It was in 2005, but I can find out the exact date for you Ken. I'm in regular contact with Marcelo Siri, whose father was good friends with Roberto Pastran. Marcelo himself worked with him at the Escuela Suboficiales FAA in Cordoba until the latter's untimely death from cancer. Of course if...

Well, I think it's the right light because it matches the Nunez Padin account that B-108 was damaged in the right wingtip in this encounter. As I said earlier, if you look at the paint colour, it is light grey, not the dark grey or green that you would see on the upper left wing (so we are...

Wow. What an excellent photo, I can tell you what almost certainly is the story here. That is the starboard wingtip of B-108, damaged on the 1st May mission. We were discussing this over on the Key Publishing Forum, but more specifically about Captain Nogueira in B-105, to determine whether...

Hmmm, yo supongo que este no es el B.62, pero el compartimiento del B.57A del USAF. Digo esto porque muchos de los equipos se ve muy diferente, y la cabina ha pintado que la sombra de gris, no el original negro de británico (we call it the 'coal hole'). También se ve diferente de fotos reales...

Si alguien está interesado, estoy trabajando en un sitio web dedicado a los Canberras Argentinos y el Grupo 2 de Bombardeo. Mucha de la información para que ustedes allí. www.nazcastudios.com/grupo2

I spoke to my mother today and after talking to her, realised I had the surname wrong - I was referring to Sergio Fernandez, not Martinez. Please excuse this mistake! ---- He hablado con mi madre hoy y desdpues de hacerlo me di cuenta que tenia el apellido equivocado - Me estaba refiriendo...

Gracias a todos por el informacion de Flt. Lt. Glover y el incidente de Blowpipe. Fue muy interesante, especialmente el buen tratamiento y las conversaciones. Las fotos también son magníficas - muchas gracias. Más interesante para mí es la información sobre 1 Ten. Fernandez. De lo que...
