The morning of the 24th was back to business as usual. We launched 2 x SHARs with KFFs for a loft attack on Stanley to soften them up for a GR3 attack with KRTs. The SHARs stayed high but distant after their attack to draw fire whilst the GR3s did their work (poor b*stards!). The second pair of GR3s got a bit close to the lead pair and the HUD film showed a shower of large bits of metal and debris falling all around them from the first pair!
CO 800 launched as they returned and managed to get a left and right on Daggers off the northern end of the sound after vectors from Broadsword. Both missiles were airborne at the same time and his #2 took out a third. The Boss was in a much better mood when he returned and was chaired away from his aircraft by our great maintainers.
We turned in that evening knowing that the 25th was Argentina's National Day and we were due for a pounding.
