Thanks for this. Navaleye mentions this incident earlier in the Thread (21) and would no doubt be interested.
Jualbo.
Interesting post. Thank you.
I daresay, if Raul Diaz had been in the same piece of sky as Ardilles and Hale he would have seen the missile launch and mentioned it. Is it likely the two pilots could be intercepting the same target unknown to each other?
This may have happened with Eyton-Jones and Curtis at low level on our side but we will never know for sure.
What would be very useful would be a time line of who was airborne where and when during the conflict so we could put some names and faces to stories like these. I wonder who was approaching Diaz? It is highly unlikely he was alone as we always used to operate in pairs. Interesting the controller only mentions one contact. What would Diaz have been armed with in this instance? Cannon and Shaffrir?
