Regarding the distance from AC to Hermes at the time of the Exocet attack - I was on the staboard bridge wing of AC at the time, clutching the stock of my machinegun that had been removed from a Wessex and welded to the edge of the bridge and hoping to have a bash at anything that came close! I am sure that we were only about 5 miles from Hermes at the time, certainly far less than 14 miles mentioned elsewhere. I also understood that it was possible that we were hit by two Exocets as it was thought that as they were fired very close together one was tracking the other.Is this possible?
