1- the smoke in this case is white and ligth..., the smoke seen by the Argentine Skyhawk pilots was not white, but black and strong.Despite the bad weather, on 30 May, the Argentinean Air Force and the Naval Aviation started their first really coordinated attack, deploying two Super Etendards and four Skyhawks into attack against what they believed was the main body of the British Task Force. After refueling twice from KC-130s, the strike package made a wide turn around to the south of the British fleet, and then initiated the attack by launching a single Exocet, with Skyhawks following closely behind. The British detected the threat, and shot down the missile and two Skyhawks, while the other two attacked a British frigate, misidentifying her for the HMS Invincible due to the bad weather and intensive smoke caused by AAA and ships moving at high speed.
Although claimed as damaged in the last Exocet-attack by Argentinean Navy’s Super Etendards and Air Force’s Skyhawks, on 30 June 1982, the HMS Invincible actually remained in the area long after the main body of the British Task force and was relieved on the station only by the HMS Illustrious in July 1982. Both ships can be seen here during a meeting in the South Atlantic.
I take English and Argentine blood in my veins, by that reason desire to find the truth of the happened thing for the good of the two nations.AussieNick said:NYhunter. What country are you from anyway?
Mate, the world is not full of conspiracy. Get over it.
The evidence you post here is pointless. Photos of planes that don't identify anything about the context don't prove anything. I can do that, but it doesn't prove a thing.
What is the difference that you can see in this photo, show me. sorry but I am not specialistic in Kc-130.bulldogg said:The picture is bollocks. The aircraft in the background is a C-130 not a refueling tanker, so it makes me doubt any other information.
bulldogg said:Additionally how can you prove where and when this picture was taken... the pilot isn't holding a newspaper up for us to see. :lol:
see more in this link http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Falklands/Exocet.htmlAbout 12:30 hrs on May 30th 1982, two Super Etendards took off from Río Grande; the SUE 0752/3-A-202, piloted by the leader, Warship Lieutenant Alejandro Francisco, took off first , and second was the SUE 0755/3-A-205, flown by the wingman, Warship Lieutenant Luis Collavino. Five minutes later, the A-4Cs, belonging to the Air Force, also took off. Francisco carried the Exocet, and Collavino provided support and verification. The call signs of the Super Etendards and Skyhawks were 'Ala' and 'Zonda' respectively.
All the planes climbed to an altitude of 7,000 meters (21,000 feet) and flew to the rendezvous point with the KC-130H, where all the fighters were resupplied with fuel for 300 kms. After this refueling the planes turned to the east, with both SUEs separated by 1,600 meters (1 mile) and two Skyhawks behind each. When all of them were at 304 kms (190 miles) from the target area, they dived to an altitude of 30 meters (100 feet). Around 14:32 'Ala 1', Francisco, reported they had locked the Exocet on the target. 'Ala 2', Collavino, confirmed the lock and so Francisco launched the missile. With this launch, the participation of the 2nd Air Naval Squadron in the war came to an end. Both Super Etendards turned back and headed towards the meeting point with the KC-130H, and after that arrived at Río Grande without problems.
This historical photograph shows the SUE # 0752/3-A-202 piloted by Warship Lieutenant Alejandro Francisco when refueling on its way to the target, HMS Invincible on May 30th 1982. The last AM.39 Exocet can be seen under the right wing of the SUE, and the four A-4C Skyhawks of the 4th Fighter Group of the Argentine Air Force can also be seen far behind, waiting for their turn to refuel.
for the same reason which they impose a secret by 90 years for all the related one to the Falklands, still having recovered the islandsbulldogg said:Further I believe Charge is right that the UK would not be able to silence the families for 20+ years about this.
Finally, why would they do this?
