Mog, I know you have done some post 1982 visits to certain sites and outreach to the other participants, did you ever pinpoint or visit the AAA site or find which crews were on the other end of the 202?
Hi Sandy,
There were a fair number of 202s around the airfield (and Oerlikon 35 mm) but only one survives today, to the north of the strip. I think that one was too far north to have been the one responsible, more likely to be one a bit east of the tower. No, I have never found out who the operator was but as you say, I have met and made friends with a number of Argentine vets as well as the son of one of the Skyhawks we shot down on 8th June.
Can’t see that happening after the present furore in Ukraine.
