Falklands Crash Sites
I am researching an action that took place on 24 May 1982. Two sea harriers intercepted 'ORO', a section of three daggers, north of Pebble Island late in the forenoon. The lead sea harrier shot down two of the daggers over the sea on an easterly heading. These were believed to be C-419 and C-410. The third and lead dagger , C-430, turned hard right and was hit by a sidewinder from the second sea harrier as he passed about south. His aircraft was observed impacting the high ground south of Pebble Island.
I have read various contradictory accounts of who was in which aircraft and several contributors to the internet have claimed sighting the wreckage of C-410 onshore.
Would anyone who has spent time in the Falklands and who might have visited any of the crash sites care to shed any light?
Many thanks
