Twelve years later during the early stages of Operation
Telic, a Sea King HC4 sunk a patrol boat with machine gun fire. The engagement has been mentioned on PPRuNe and in this
article by Tim Ripley (also in
PDF format). Understandably perhaps this did not make the TV news, but it doesn't seem to be mention on the RN or MOD website either. Why not?
I was HP for the incident and it wasnt really that interesting...
