Thank you very much for the link, Jualbo. This is the first time I have listened to this interview.
Far be it from me to contradict Dave or Hector but some of what was said was highly unlikely/incorrect.
Firstly, if Hector saw cannon fire behind him he would have been ahead of Bolzan. I saw Bolzan manoeuvering with the cannon fire all around him. If Hector was that close I am very surprised I didn't see him.
Secondly, an A4 is not going to get a guns solution against a Sea Harrier doing in excess of 600 knots at 50 feet over the sea no matter what anyone says!! I also fail to see how he ended up behind Dave if the cannon fire was observed behind him in the first place and Dave pulled up as soon as he had finished firing.
I did not fire my cannons in this attack.
Thirdly, I never called that Dave was under attack.
