41 years ago today saw the first aerial action in the Falklands with attacks by 800NAS on Stanley and Goose Green airfields at (very!) low level and the first four A2A kills. Just to show the balance, these were a Canberra and Dagger to the RN pilots and 2xDaggers to the RAF exchange pilots.
Interestingly, three of the four pilots concerned were instructors from the training squadron (899NAS) who, like me had been co-opted to join the front-line outfits at 24hrs notice.
