4th May was was pay-back day for the sinking of ARA General Belgrano two days before: Sheffield hit by Exocet (sank under tow) and Nick T killed attacking Goose Green. He was flying the Sea Eagle trials jet which had no RWR and was splashed by radar-laid 35mm. Lots of hand-wringing by the fish-heads that evening contrasting with a considerable hardening of attitude by the WAFUs!
My low flying was put to shame by the late, great Fred, who came face-to-face with a horse when cresting a “ridge” on the run in to Goose Green on the 1st. He was judging his height against the trees - which turned out to be gorse bushes!
Swing the lamp.
