Argentinian Chinnock

The Argentine Army sent its two Chinook, one of them was distroy during a bomb run by the Harrier.
The other one was left in the islands. It was ferried to UK later on.
The british recovered it and it is flying with the blue and red flag.

The Argentine Air Force had operated onother two Chinook, both were flying back to the continent shortly before the end of the conflict.

They also left two Bell 212 in flying conditions but the souvenir hunters destroyed it.

The Argentine Cost Guard left one Puma with minor damage, but it was ferried to UK and recovered to flying conditions.

Also two Army Augusta 109 were ferried to UK and transfered to their army.
