I ve never seen any photo sequence about the My (PM) Garcia Cuerva crash.

Cuerva was coming to land after fighting with 2 Sea Harrier on May 1st.
His wingman, 1st Lieutenant Carlos Perona was shotted down but he could eyect and come back to the continent.

Apparently, Cuerva kept fighting with the SH without hitting or been hitted, so both sides broke the engage.

The Argentinian pilot was run out of fuel for returning to his base in Patagonia.
So, he tried to land in Pto Argentino-Pt Stanley airport, but friendly fire shotted him down.

He couldn't eyect.
