The transcript and the video of an attack by two A10 tankbusters on a squadron of the British Household Cavalry (who were using Scimitar light tanks):

The pilots appear to have misidentified the orange markers on the vehicles as rockets, and believed there were no friendlies in the area.
The video is connected to the inquest of L/CPL Mattie Hull, who is said to have been killed in the attack.
In the UK, military deaths are investigated by the civilian courts, and this video has been the source of some controversy: with the military first denying it existed, then refusing to release it.
