Thanks, Navaleye.
I am researching this on behalf of Allan White who runs the Pebble Island Lodge in the Falklands. He has a particular interest in the incident as it happened more or less on his doorstep. (Also for personal reasons as I was Neil Thomas' wingman when we were hauled off the attacking raid. Regrettably my memory is rather hazy about the specifics.)
Do you have information on where we were on CAP in relation to HMS Coventry prior to the attack? What was the attack direction and what were our radar vectors?
For some reason I can remember the previous day's attack on three Daggers with Andy Auld with great clarity but I cannot remember the datails of the attack on HMS Coventry at all.
Your help will be much appreciated
